How To Pick A Dance School: A Guide To Dance Training
There are a vast number of dance schools in the United States alone, with studio focus ranging from recreational to competition to professional training. Finding the right school for a dancer can be challenging when there are so many options available. It is most important to consider the dancer’s interests, and the quality of the dance education.
What type of dancer do you wish to be?
The age-old question. Young dance training can start as recreational or pre-professional, it really depends on the expectation of the family.
Ask this question:
What is the dream of the dancer?
” I wanna be a ballerina. I wanna dance with Cira. Being a Wizards dancer would be cool!” All dance training starts with a dream. Picking a dance school is important to pursue the “now” dream of being a dancer. As the dream changes, so do dance training institutions.
