    Yes, definitely! My daughter was in the same boat, but at age 9. It will help a lot and not just for pirouettes. Especially when she starts performing on stage with dances that shes moving around and jumping more. She simply won’t need to worry about her glasses falling off.

    The biggest thing we were told that we had to teach her, and it turned out to be no big deal, was managing her lenses all day at school when we weren’t around. If your DD struggles a little, its fine, just let her wear them for ballet, then back to glasses when shes not dancing until she gets the hang of putting them in at a moment’s notice at school.

    I agree.. Not only can our children’s schedules get jammed pack but that means ours do as well!

    Hello! I’ll be the second to post :)

    As long as she doesn’t seem overwhelmed and seems to be able to keep up with both it should be fine. I think it’s good to push your kids, I know I push mine, as long as they can handle it. You know the saying about idle hands.

    If ballet is what she loves I wouldn’t take that away from her. Just keep on top of her with her school work which i’m sure you’re already doing.

    That does seem young, but as long as he is partnering girls his size, it should probably be okay. if he has a good teacher, they’ll start very slow.
