Dance is more than just for fun

-

Have you watched your child dance around the house or constantly want to watch the Barbie Nutcracker movie, making you wonder if he or she is ready for dance lessons? Is it time? Where do you go? Will he or she enjoy it? Dance is more than just fun. It deals with the manipulati­on and training of the whole body. What is taught early on is so important. A good teacher will instill proper technique appropriat­e for the age of the child, but will also build on the love of dance and the joy of movement. You wouldn’t send your child to your neighbour for swimming lessons if they were not a qualified instructor so why would you with dance? The damage can be long-reaching. Ensure a quality learning experience and the joy will follow. Edmonton School of Ballet employs highly qualified, accredited teachers with years of experience and a true understand­ing of how to train the youngest child through to the most advanced levels. Ask us about the variety of classes available. We ensure that your child is placed in the safest, most appropriat­e level for both their chronologi­cal age as well as their developmen­tal age.
