Question: Ages, point work, dance!?
What is the youngest age to start point, and what age do you think you should be to begin!? I think 14, 15, 13, maybe 12!. I think some dance schools are putting kids on point when they are not ready!. For example, lets say if you get to level 4 you earn your shoes, but the class is mainly based on age not skill!. So, there could be kids who start level 4 that are not ready yet, and so they struggle in that class, which could be very bad for them and their bodies!. What do you think!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
