DS Tap dancing....your views?

[princesss]

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??

DS wishes he'd done it from 3. He's started this year at 14, and though he loves it, it's a tough call to try to catch up.

Princess, I'd just let him get on with it, give him as much encouragement as possible and don't worry about other parents and their views, as long as he is happy that is all that matters!

DS1 and DS3 started ballet together aged 10 and 6, and stayed there until DS1 went off to university. There were lots of boys in their ballet school but only 3 in their class.
