BUT, I strongly believe in parents raising their children as THEY see fit (of course I'm not talking abuse or anything like that!). To each his own. My the age of 15 though I would think there could be some kind of compromise..... I'm not condoning sitting around doing nothing though!"Cookie"https://www.blogger.com/profile/07584685355390220515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837298353619193887.post-89629312257475947782010-11-04T15:50:39.920-07:002010-11-04T15:50:39.920-07:00I'm a BIG believer in mandatory extra curricul...I'm a BIG believer in mandatory extra curricular activities be it sports or other b/c I like productive way to STAY OUT OF TROUBLE. The older you get, the more impt this becomes. I "stongly encourage" for all 4 - for 3 it's very easy and they love it, for one - not as much. I'm hoping she'll eventually find her passion. It can ADD UP - esp things like dance, horseback riding and music. So in order for me to sacrafice and fork it over (and it's usually not an all year deal anyway) I better see some major dedication!Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07951152615841618741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837298353619193887.post-61192955363306963672010-11-04T13:46:32.802-07:002010-11-04T13:46:32.802-07:00Thank goodness I have boys!

But I have found that studios vary greatly in their pricing. Some studios have competitive teams and charge much more. Others cater to the recreational dancer and have more reasonable prices. Even cheaper still is a rec center dance class - or perhaps she would like something like Zumba that combines a good workout with fun latin dance moves. good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837298353619193887.post-87550480627997298682010-11-04T06:55:25.338-07:002010-11-04T06:55:25.338-07:00take it from a person who was "strongly encou...take it from a person who was "strongly encouraged" by her parents to play soccer, i don't regret one minute of it! i was never very good, but the exercise and strength that i built during that experience had long term effects! i love dance too....maybe there's a way she can do some dance lessons on the side from a college student or something....for less money? xoxoKate Spearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091277339209681001noreply@blogger.com
