Songs for four year old child to dance to in ballet?

Question: Songs for four year old child to dance to in ballet!?

My sister and I went to a mommy&me class, but now at four, she's a bit to old for it and it doesn't fit into our time frame anymore!. I've decided since I dance ballet in an adult class as well, that I would teach her myself!. [less expensive] Are there any good CD'S I could get for her to dance to!? also, do you think it would be appropriate if I asked to buy a copy of the songs they use in the mommy&me class!? They were GREAT!. Thanks for your help!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Greg and Steve have some great songs for kid dances and movement activities - not necessarily ballet, but creative movement is more appropriate than formal ballet instruction for children under 5 anyways!. Raffi also has great children's music!. You might also look at some classic musicians like Frank Sinatra - they often have fun music that is appropriate for children!.

A great children's ballet instruction CD is A Fantasy Garden Ballet Class!. There's even a video available to go with it to help you teach it!. Check amazon!.com - I'm almost positive they have it!.

I would say it would be fine if you asked to buy a copy of the mommy and me CD's!. The only reason they probably wouldn't let you have a copy is if it was developed by the studio for use solely at their studio!.

Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Almost anything by phil collins,

(The guy that sang most of the songs in Tarzan)

Try "you'll be in my heart"
&& "two worlds"

Another song by a different singer thats good is
"circle of life" from the lion king
and

another song that i like is
"Butterfly Kisses"

Gr8 idea by the way!!
Good luck
and im sure they'd copy u a CD!Www@QuestionHome@Com

i think thats a great i dea teaching her, but if you want her to excel in dancing, you should probably let teachers at a studio lend a hand!. i really do think thats a great idea, and here are some songs i think would work out:

Tale as Old as Time - Beauty and the Beast
Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Wizard of Oz
Maybe - Annie
A Dream is a Wish your Heart Makes - Cinderella
Amazing Grace

& little kid songs, it doesnt hhave to be slow music, just fun, and have ballet moves in it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
