At what age should I start my child in dance?

I receive a lot of calls asking me what age to start kids in Dance.  This is my answer.  Never start kids before they’re three years old.  Their bones are not hard enough, their knee caps haven’t developed yet and their attention span is just not ready to take on a class.  When they are three, introducing them to dance in a fun way with a structured class is perfect.  They enjoy themselves and do learn.  Also little dancers need to be potty trained.  Coming into a group with diapers is not something a dance studio should have to deal with.

There are studios that take younger kids.  They are not in a structured class.  They are playing.  By the time they are put in a class of learning, they resent it, because they’ve never had to pay attention and do steps that are presented to them.  They get frustrated and walk away. 

So let the little ones play with friends until they’re three and then bring them to a tap and ballet class geared for their learning ability.

Don’t pay to have them just play.
