Hi, my 3 year old dd started ballet before Christmas & she absolutely loves it. She's in a little pre-school class & has great fun pretending to be fairies & unicorns etc. However over the past month I have noticed she has become more more co-ordinated & is doing some "moves" now! I'm just so happy she enjoys it & skips into class every week.
She is also asking to do gymnastics & we have put her name down in a club for Sept(huge waiting list before then). So my question is will they compliment each other.I was hoping the gymnastics may increase her flexibility as she would be slightly stiff & it would help her ballet that way.
If you have any kids in ballet & gym what do you think are the benefits? I think the ballet has definitely improved her concentration & co-ordination, she is also alo more graceful!!! Would gym have any character building characteristics?
She was also asking to do drama but we can't afford 3 activities plus we don't want her doing too much too young. If she still wants to do drama down the line I think 5 or 6 may be a better age to start?
