my ds 3.3 has recently started a tap/ballet class where they alternate each week.....he loves it out of 10 kids there are 3 boys...i think it is really helping his co ordination and also to have an element of control whilst running around and his memory is being improved recalling steps etc....

but yet i am getting a lot of stick from other parents about how he shouldnt be doing it as he is a boy...

i will continue to let him pursue it as long as he wants to and shows an interest,,,,

what do other parents think would you let your son tap dance??

I would let him, our dance school has several boy tappers, some of them very good indeed. One of our oldest students has recently been awarded the highest mark in the country at a festival. The girls seem to flock round the male dancers,although there is some moaning around show times as the boys always get the better parts Grin

I would let mine.. he's 6 and desperate to join a dance class but there's not any near me I can get to at their times :(
he's also in to karate, rugby and swimming so don't think he'd take any stick about it being girlie...
