Ballet classes for 4 year old

[KLJAL]

Hello,
Does anyone know of any ballet classes for kids? Our daughter is 4
years old, and loves ballet. There is a ballet class near our home,
but they only start teaching real ballet to students ages 6 and
older. The younger kids can take a sort of a jumping around/dance
class. Sadly, my daughter can tell the difference. We live in Xin Yi
district.

I think you are talking about Cloud Gate Dance Studio (the one with the green frog) which has THE BEST dance classes for kids. In the beginning they teach kids rythm and how to control their bodies, their movements. It's really important if one wants to be able to move to the music and not just repeat teacher's movements. Both of my kids (14 y.old daughter and 9 y.old son) have been going to Cloud Gate since they were 4 y.o. and they are amazing dancers. My daughter has a scholarship from this dance school.
Of course little girls want to put on the pink dresses and start twirling around on their toes. There are many ballet classes for little ones, but although my daughter tried them before she didn't like them and so ... I can not recommend them. Sorry.

Thanks, Dorota! You are exactly right; my daughter has been asking for toe shoes and a nice, puffy tutu. :) Maybe we should give this class another try.
