With the increasing pressure of social competition, parents hope that their children can be versatile and adapt to society when they grow up. Some parents enrolled their children in dance classes and piano classes early. In fact, it is not good for children to learn dance too early. Children should learn dance after the age of 4.
If the child is gifted, loves dancing and is willing to learn professional dancing, it is recommended to wait until 10 years old.
As a hobby, children's dance does not require high physical conditions for children, as long as there are no serious physical defects, they can learn. Even the deaf can go through special training and dance beautifully. Avalokitesvara with a thousand hands is a typical example. However, many benefits of dance learning can not be realized in a short time, and perseverance will lead to greater gains. Of course, if you majored in dance, there are strict standards for the dancer's body proportion, weight and height.
I began to learn dance when I was 4 years old.
It is suggested that students start studying at the age of 4, and each class in group teaching is generally around 1 hour, but it cannot exceed 1.5 hours, with one or two short breaks in between.
If the child is gifted, loves dancing and is willing to learn professional dancing, it is recommended to wait until 10 years old. Because of the intensity and long time of professional dance training, it is very unfavorable to the growth and development of children under 10.
What needs to be added here is that for children before the age of 3, some high-quality pre-school education and training institutions have specially set up Orff music courses, including the enlightenment education in children dance. This kind of learning aims at stimulating and cultivating children's own sense of rhythm, and the course content is mostly self-entertaining, spontaneous and imitative behavior, which is a new way of children's art education.
Carefully prepared:
Generally speaking, there is no requirement for clothes, as long as the clothes fit and do not hinder the dance movements. However, some teachers require that appropriate clothes and cat's paw shoes be prepared before class, which is helpful for teachers to know the accuracy of children's movements in time and accurately.

Problems encountered by the baby in learning dance.
1. Do children need to be divided into subjects to learn dance? How to choose?
In early childhood, learning dance generally does not need to be divided into subjects. Especially in the early stage of learning, we should pay more attention to the cultivation of dance interest.
