If your child is starting to show an interest in dance but you are worried that they might be too old to take up this new sport, there is no need to worry. Many children don’t decide what they are really interested in until they are older and in no way does this mean that they can’t now pursue this new interest.
There are dance schools that prefer your child to start dance at a young age however, there are also dance schools that offer classes for all ages and all levels. If your child has started to show an interest in dance, find a school that offers beginner classes for all ages, you might even want to take a class or two as well.
If you are not sure if this is just a passing phase that your child is going through, try a free class first, this way your child can get involved in the class and get a general idea if this is something they really want to do or not. Even just turning up to watch a few classes can help you and your child make a decision.
Becoming a dancer can be hard work, especially if your child decides to pursue it professionally, however, there are many great dancers out there that did not take up dancing until they were in their early teens. Dancing can also be fun and a great way for your child to learn coordination, balance and discipline.
