i still cant dance lmao

i couldn't dance at nine.....well maybe the hokey pokey.

You should try to train her. Don't put her into too many pressure. Show her your basic and easy steps first. Demonstrate it to her. Then force her to do it over a couple of times. She might get used to it. Good luck!;)

you are so self centred!
so what if she cant dance
just because you can doesnt mean she should
give the poor kid a break

she's nine, give her a break.
play candy-land with her or something else that nine year olds do.

that is okay maybe dancing is not her thing not everyone can dance ....maybe dance class if you really want her to learn but don't push it on her it will make her hate it more than you think...have you ever asked her how she feels about the whole thing ? also encourage her don't put her down when she can not do it like you....at least she is trying

well one odvious option is dance classes. try to convince her parents to get her into dance classes. and when you see her help her on the things she learned. try not to yell when your helping her. Now If u are a teacher! then I really have no right to tell you what to dosince i am only a student, but at least try to start with the basics. I am a dancer myself and I do every thing. But first try to focus on one style of dance and if she gets tired of that try somthing else.
try some of these...
- Ballet __tondus and rondeshomes
- Jazz __ leaps (sote sha) turns (perewett)
- Tap__ suffels and falaps
- Hip Hop__ But pop or step cross heel
those are some of the basic dance styles and basic dance steps. so good luck hope I helped!!

When you teach her how to dance try doing it really slowly or something because she just might be confused. Or physically help her :)

make it fun. dont force it on her. start dancing with her other cousins. that might make her want to learn how.
