DD (4) has done a years worth of dance classes. She’s always been quite shy, so when she started in Sept it took her some time to get involved but loves it there.
In May she moved up a class and I’ve started leaving her there - and since then she always cries and clings to me when I leave her there. She does it everywhere I leave her (I had a thread about pre school recently). It’s so hard.
She apparently perks up and has a lovely time, and she tells me she loves it. But there’s a lovely lady helper there that she’s clingy to - it appears that she wants to hold her hand for the whole lesson. When she was on holiday, she played with the other kids and made friends.
I feel like I’m wasting my money - it’s about £7 per week for her to cry when I drop her off and for her to hold someone’s hand the whole time she’s there. But she tells me she’s really enjoying it, and I always said I’d send her until she told me she didn’t want to any more.
It’s the last class today and I genuinely can’t decide whether to send her back after the summer.
I’ve had a word with the teacher who said she isn’t worried about her, it’s normal at this age etc.

Should I stop sending Dd to dance classes?
