To look for a ballet school for my 9 month old?

[olivestree]

I have just read the other thread about ballet on here and couldn't help myself. Teeny ballet shoes and tiny tutus... makes my heart all a flutter.

Oh I don't know. Maybe wait until she can walk?

What can a 9 month old do in a ballet class? Not actual ballet, for sure. Whatever floats your boat though, I guess.

God, I hated ballet.

Spoof thread?

You might as well dress her in a tutu and plonk her down on the floor in your house, thats free, I think.

Aww so cute.. but seriously? :o

See if she can master the old walking bit first eh?

there is something around called baby ballet - no idea what they actually do though. think you get to dress them up in tutus then its probs not that different from a lot of baby music type classes

i HAVE NOTHING TO SAY I COPIED TO SAY SOMETHING WITTY BUT THERE IS NO WORDS !

I think this has got the potential to become one of those threads that starts with an innocent light hearted question and ends up a massive bun fight with 1000 posts.

I think ballet lessons at 9 months might be a waste of money tbh, but you could buy a tutu and some ballet shoes and dress her up for own enjoyment?!

YAB a little bit U

Why on earth did you wait so long??

Ok, so I didn't actually mean I would be sending her next week.

Her backwards caterpillar crawl is quite graceful though.

I looked for schools for my 2.5 year old but can't find any she can start until 3. 9 months is a bit young

Oh FFS! It was a joke peeps!

Before it gets too heated, DD will go to ballet IF SHE WANTS TO and when she is able to ask for lessons!

DD started ballet before she started school. She is now starting secondary school, still doing ballet and has never yet worn a tutu, not even in the shows.

Sorry to disappoint you.

GM wants to sign DD up but the local place of torture school doesn't take them until they are at least 3 years old.

Phew, she has just woken up. Thought we were going to run late for Mandarin lessons.

Dd was 12 when she first got to wear a tutu (obviously she owned some for dressing up).

Those baby ballet classes start at approx 6 months, apparently, the mind boggles!

This thread is going to run for dozens of pages because people will post having only read the first post. [girn]

OP, I fear you 9 months is a bit too late. :(

FFS, now I'm 'girning' instead of grinning.

Yesterday I [smoked] when I meant to

Dd did a ballet performance at the weekend. She is 9 but the other girls were all over 14 so she looked tiny.
I cried like a pathetic thing.

Where I live, there is a 2 year waiting list for loads of the ballet / gym classes so maybe it's not such a bad idea!

Thanks for the link Peaks. Just ordered uniforms for us both. Will get DH his tonight once I have checked his size.
