Finding the Best Dance Classes: 3 Types of Lessons for Kids

Dance classes are fun for kids of all ages, but if you’re looking for a class for your child, you may be wondering how to find the right kind. There are many different types of classes, from jazz to ballet to tap, each offering a different style of dance. Learn about these classes, what to expect during the class, and what your child will need in order to participate.

jazz dance classes

Jazz dance classes are lively and fun for kids! The music is often popular and may even be on radio’s top 40 list. The moves are upbeat and can contain jumps, jumps, spins, and more. Ballerinas typically wear form-fitting clothing such as shorts or pants with a fitted top or bra, while male dancers wear a top with a tank top underneath and a pair of pants or shorts that allow for easy movement. The specialty shoes are available in nude or black and can be laced or slip-on. These shoes have a small heel and are available with or without small rubber pads on the soles. If you are enrolling your child in jazz dance classes, ask the instructors what type of shoes you should purchase, as many instructors want all students to have the same style or color.

Ballet classes

Ballet lessons are one of the most popular types of lessons for children. Children will learn a combination of traditional moves and spins and the focus will be on making each move as graceful as possible. Children will need a special type of ballet shoe and may eventually require a special type of pointe that allows them to dance on their toes (although this can take years and years of practice). Some teachers may ask students to wear special clothing to class, usually a plain black leotard, pink tights, and pink shoes. Dancers usually need a plain white T-shirt, a pair of black tights, and black shoes.

tap dance classes

Unlike other kinds of lessons, tap lessons want kids to be heard! Boys wear a special type of shoe with metal studs attached to the heel and toe of the shoe. These touches help create specific sounds as the dancers move. There are a number of popular moves that take advantage of these taps during tap dance lessons, including the shuffle, the brush, and the ball change. If your child is interested in this type of class, please discuss with the teacher what type of clothing is required. Many lessons only require comfortable clothing that doesn’t inhibit movement, but your teacher may have more specific clothing requests.

If you’re not sure which type of class is right for your child, consider trying to find a lesson that includes a mix of different types or talking to the instructors in the studio. Doing this can help ensure your kids have fun and that’s the most important reason to start dancing!
