Article: Kids in Ballet

“Mommy, I want to learn how to dance.”  “Okay, I will enrol you to ballet class. Would you like that?” “Yes. Yes. Yehey!”

                This is the conversation I usually heard between a little girl and her mom whenever that kid saw somebody wearing tutus and pink tights. This is because almost all little girls are attracted to these kinds of things, such as fairytales.  And they also love the way they point their toes while dancing just like what Disney princesses do in some movies whenever they are dancing and singing.

                Actually, enrolling a little kid in ballet in an early stage is very beneficial to them. It is because at an early stage, these kids are able to develop their self-esteem within their selves. They are also taught what the proper posture is, which is good because their bones are just starting to develop and become strong.

                Self-discipline is another thing that is being taught to children in ballet. When a kid already built that self-discipline within them, their parents probably would not experience any difficulties in raising their child.

                “Ballet lessons can also foster a positive self image in young girls, as well as young boys. Ballet teaches skill, grace, poise, self discipline and self confidence.” (Kids Ballet Guide)

            And if ever I will be having a baby girl in the future, enrolling her in a ballet class will be an option, if and only if she would like to, because I know that enrolling her to that class will surely help her as a person.
