A Parent's Guide To Finding Children's Ballet Classes Los Angeles

By Cynthia Thomas


If your child is interested in dance, you may be wondering how to find the right class for them. There are many different styles of dance and many studios that are offering lessons. You need to consider each child individually since different kids need different things from a dance teacher. Here are some tips that you can use to find the right ballet classes Los Angeles for your child.

Ballet has been around for hundreds of years. Many of the terms and names for different positions and steps are in French. This is because much of this art form was developed in France. It has since split off into other teaching styles including Russian and Cecchetti.

The age and experience level of individual classes is an important thing to check on. Classes that try and put different ages and experience levels together may not be a good fit and may actually end up with your child getting injured. Some moves are very difficult to do especially for young children who may not have much muscular strength.

A certified teacher who has experience with ballet is also important. You want to make sure that they know what the individual steps are supposed to look like and how they are supposed to be done properly. This can help keep your child from being injured as they get into more advanced skills.

You should also make sure that the classes are at the same intensity that your child wants. For example, classes that are taught at a professional level are generally much more serious and intense. This is because they are intended for individuals who want to move on and dance as a career. A child who may just want to get some exercise and social interaction may not enjoy this kind of class.

Where a studio is located is also important. There are studios all over Los Angeles and finding one located near where you live is always a good idea. If your child begins to really enjoy dance you may find that you are enrolling them in an increasing number of classes. Being able to travel back and forth from a studio quickly is good if you do not want to spend hours in traffic each week.

Different studios will also charge different rates and have other fees that you need to be aware of. For example, some kids will take dance exams or will compete throughout the year. In these situations there are often fees that can really add up. Make sure you know what you can afford to spend and find a studio that will work with that budget.

You may want to look online for dance studios or speak with other parents about where they send their child. There tends to be a lot of emotion and strong feeling linked to a dance studio especially if a student is competing or is heavily involved in dance so be prepared for some strong opinions. You may also want to visit different dance schools and see what they have to offer to make sure it is a good fit for your child.
