Tips for Children's Ballet Classes : The Best Ballet Class Size for Kids

I teach several dance classes, and for creative movement I had 18 girls last year and only 7 this year as they were all old enough to move up a level. I find it was much easier with more girls as the girls who have behavior problem follow the girls who listen and are very well behaved. With a smaller class it's harder for the one or two hyper ones to see the difference between themselves and the other girls. Most studios should have mirrors and the teacher should be able to see all the dancers

@kuldkullake I myself hate to even require the services of a high school assistant in my class, but I only do so when I hit a number of about 10 and obviously it varies with age, skill level, and what the students in each class are like. This example in this video is certainly unecessary. I also agree with the rest of your statement. I cannot stand when parents think I'm their childs babysitter! The worst is when I don't know how to discipline a child due to fear of an angry parent.

trappedinside1 commented on 21 Jan 2011

I agree for the most part, there should be a cap off for class size, however, there should also be one on the other end. For little children, especially just starting out with social skills, it's crucial there are enough children there that they can learn to interact and make friends at this age. It's all a balancing act I think, and varies with age, but yes, you don't want too many kids to a class, and you don't want too few!

aomdance commented on 08 Oct 2009

Be careful, small class size isn't always a good thing. Just like large classes aren't always a bad thing. How many assistants are in a class? Is it an adult or high school student teaching? Is the studio set up where mirrors allow the teacher to see every student even when her back is turned? Go observe a class. What is the perfect class size for one instructor isn't practical for another.

I feel 14 is good. The older they are, the more you can have b/c of discipline and maturity. I do agree that if you have 2 or 3 hyper ones in a class of only 8, they are more likely to take over and lure the other ones into acting bad also. But if you have good classroom management skills, you can handle most 3-4 yr olds.

dancingballet commented on 16 Jul 2009

depends on the age of the students, as well as teacher's ability to control the class. some classes with small numbers do well, but too small lacks energy. it all depends...and also a lot on how the teachers manage the class. no fixed rule, just class dynamics.

tdsmeg4 commented on 27 Apr 2009

it is best if there is 20 i think or more it should be at least 20 people at my dance class every class has that or more people except the like 3-4 year olds i think possibly the 5-6 year olds but i think the 5-6 year olds might have 20 or more not sure

The most important thing is that your children is learning dance safely and properly, not whether the waiting room is comfortable and the teacher has newsletters. You could have a teacher who is a fantastic communicator with parents but is not a quality dance teacher.

On the contrary, I can see where they're coming from. I wouldn't want little kids to have to use really gross dressing rooms/restrooms. They don't have to be spotless, but it should still be decent. It is easy for children to get sick, so it should not be taken lightly.

I LOVE that you mentioned that some studios don't necessarily have "ballet". I'm putting that in quotations, because some that list ballet classes, actually only include some basics for the little kidos, and then try to call lyrical class ballet for the older students. Because of this issue, I was enrolled as a child in a studio such as this, and had to go through the hassle of starting at a new one at age 13, and not beginning pointe work till 15 because I had so much catching up to do!

Peaches&Honey commented on 04 Aug 2010

@nennienens yes, ballet does require a certain amount of strength. You don't necessarily have that strength when you start, but you build to it in training. People say ballet is no fun because of the strict rules of how your body should be placed at all times, but I have always found it fun and challenging :D

theatergeek555 commented on 21 Mar 2010

When you look at a studio, look at the dancers. are they happy? do they look healthy? are they considerate to the teachers? etc. the studio might let you watch a class, which is the best. Here is what I have to say to some previous comments: if you don't like ballet, why did you watch the video to begin with?

Rebecca Marie Bachar Toronto Teacher Dance Yoga commented on 03 Aug 2009

Ballet is Extremely HARMFUL to the Body, DEFORMING to the Joints, Ballerinas have highest rates of Anerexia, Arthritis, Neurosis, Injuries Lowest incomes

nennienens commented on 24 Oct 2009

last time i heard ballerinas had like .... strong bodies. Doesnt it require strength sometimes to do what they do? i think so. lol

carodalino commented on 09 May 2010

@nennienens, ballet requires a great amount of strength physically and mentally every second that you are dancing.
