More reasons your child should take a dance class

Whew, got busy this last week & haven't had time to post!

Thought of another reason to dance...
You can make dance part of a weekly routine.  With many sports, you may have 2 practices (and the coaches rarely know exactly what time practice is going to be until a few days before) plus games every week, trying to cram everything in & get it done.  It's all-consuming.  And if you have more than one child playing on more than one team/league....that's all you do for 6-8 weeks.  And after rushing around non-stop for 8 weeks, you & your child are suddenly sedimentary.  Which sounds nice at first, only because sports has run you ragged for 8 weeks!
In dance, you know you have class at the same time every week.  Yes, if you get into competitive dance it can mean more than once a week, but most kids aren't going to get into competitive dance right away.  For the whole school year, you know that you can count on the schedule not to change.

Anyway, just thought of that & wanted to throw it out while I remembered.  Already seeing posts from friends that have their kids in sports & their crazy schedules because of it.

One more reason to put your child in dance:

Some kids are at the dance studio all day.
Some kids are hanging out all day.
Some parents spend hours driving their kids to "everything" dance.
Some parents spend hours driving around looking for their kids.
Some parents spend their hard earned money on dance classes, shoes, costumes, etc. for their children.
Some parents are spending their hard earned money on lawyers for their children.

As a teacher who has seen a couple of generations of dance kids grow into successful adults, I am confident that the $$$$ and time spent are the best investments a parent could make. And if you add to that the memories, friends, and life lessons . . . what more could a parent ask for?! Enjoy the journey!
