The lessons are not always appropriate for this age group and the pupils do not learn as much.

Once a young person is discouraged in such a way it can completely kill off their confidence and will to succeed. That's why it is very important to ensure that your child's school is a good one and that their dance lessons are enjoyable and fulfilling right from the beginning.

Lessons need to specifically cater for young students otherwise they will soon begin to get lost and lose interest. Giving up dance is a decision many young students make because the lessons simply were badly structured and did not cater for their needs.

Good quality schools always cater for their young students with really well structured lessons that are suitable for the age and advancement of the pupils.
