Contact The Finest Ballet Dance Studios Calgary Has

By Christine Moore


Your precious little angel is now ready for the world stage. She's just turned four and has decided that she's going to be a prima- ballerina when she grows up. Being the world's best Mom, you know what you have to do before signing her up at one of ballet dance studios Calgary is home to.

Do you ever wish that you'd had the opportunity to learn this form of dancing when you were a kid? Or did you attend a couple of classes and for whatever reason, you were unable to continue - and now you're regretting it? It's not like you want to become a professional dancer and take part in the Russian Opera.

In your future, there will be class fees to take care of. Also expect many hours of sitting around while she's in class or rehearsals. Other aspects to remember include traveling costs, competition entry fees and costumes (lots and lots of those).

One of the best reasons for taking up dancing now rather that at a very young age, is that you're in good shape. Yes, that's right - you're probably better off than the professional dancers. By the time a professional dancer has turned twenty-five, they will more than likely be struggling with knee problems, tendinitis, torn hamstrings and back issues.

Another advantage of being an adult beginner is that you can get yourself to classes. You don't have to rely on Mom to get you there or wait around for a lift home. Additionally, you are more than likely earning a salary and as a result you can take as many (or as few) classes as you like or can afford.

A number of studios now offer beginner classes for adults, and some will even give you private lessons to help you gain confidence while you learn the basics. They'll teach you everything you'll need to know to start off with, from basic positions, balance and posture to what to wear to move most comfortably in. And even if you end up not sticking with this form of dancing, it'll give you a great foundation for learning any other type of dancing style.

Be aware that you are not only enrolling your little princess into dance classes, you are now joining the Parents of Dancers. Yes, you guessed it, you're going to be rubbing shoulders with some scary people - from the mother who will scalp you to make sure that her daughter gets the lead in the upcoming end-of-year show - to the father who will want to show you on his iPhone, every single picture ever taken of his daughter dancing!

This form of dancing can provide you with really great exercise and can tone your muscles better than any other dance style. Make no mistake, it's a lot of hard work and will have you sweating like a donkey, but it will be so very worth it! So, get out there and sign up for an adult beginners class at one of the dance studios in Calgary that cater to this form of dancing.
