Ballerinamum Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 My daughter has been asked if she would like to try this style of dance. Is it beneficial to ballet? They said to try her at grade 2 and will move to grade 3 if better suited. She's 9. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahG1881 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 My 8 year old adores modern! I think it really helps with their musicality. Worth a go x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLou Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 At that age I think they should be doing whatever they find fun and enjoyable. Let her try it, and if she likes it then happy days. You can start thinking about what’s beneficial further down the line, and even then there should still be space in the timetable for stuff that’s just for fun. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canary Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 If she enjoys Movement to music in both ballet and modern she will become a confident more versatile dancer and performer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanceTeacher93 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Modern is great for building a variety of styles (ISTD has a lovely combination of lyrical, jazz and contemporary movements). It's a good strength builder and can be great for technique across the board and for building mental stamina if doing multiple styles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
