Baby jazz, baby?

Eugh. I have no idea what to do.

HRH obviously LOVES dancing, which is great, and I'd love to take her to dance lessons. The problem is... well, there's lots of them. It's not financial, or logistic, it just some times bothers me.

Baby Jazz...You know what I'm saying- 5 year olds in feathers and sequins, made up like employees of the local bordello wiggling like horny teenagers to the less than eloquent lyrics of the latest "R'n'B sensation" (read half naked woman/mysogynist) and being cheered on by random adults.

Yuck. But then, what about Ballet? Apart from the fact she's built like a shot putter, that should be ok, shouldn't it? But then, trying out a dance style that perhaps revolves a little too much around having a serious Rapunzel complex and could well lead to all sorts of problems later in life like bendy legs and sore toes is not a good idea.

That leaves Baby Tap. I think she might be bored by that and she makes enough noise by herself without adding metal shoes to the mix.

Am I worrying too much? Should I trust that the teachers at the dance school have at least some idea how parents might feel; or am I the only one? And can someone please tell me how to reply to comments left- Mummybear will think I am being terribly rude...

i think you have a very valid point. Surely Ballet or Tap would be a good starting point, it was for me. Only when i got told i was too big to be a 'babe in the wood' my dreams of being the next Darcy Bussell were scrapped.
