I believe children have an innate sense of movement and dance. We are the ones that discourage it, mostly in boys. I applaud your decision to send your son to ballet class. Many years ago, I put my 3- yr-old son into creative dance simply, because he loved to move. Predictably, he was the only boy in a sea of pink tutus. Didn't bother him a bit. He climbed into his Spiderman costume and hit the floor. It saddens me to think that boys are missing out on a great opportunity to be creative in a room that doesn't involve balls and goal posts.
