Hip Hop Dance For Children
Posted on May 15, 2010 under ashley, children, entertainment | 16 CommentsI have been looking around for a dance class for Ashley ever since she stopped her Yamaha Junior Music Class (JMC) early this year. A few weeks ago, I saw some banners near my home regarding Hip Hop Dance lessons for children and quickly made arrangements for Ashley to try it out. Last week, we went for the trial class and she told me that she likes it. The lessons are conducted once a week (7pm to 8pm) and the fee is RM70 a month. Below are some photos taken during the warm-up section. Parents are only allowed to be in the dance room for 5 minutes. The teacher does not want the children to be distracted.
The warm up exercise
trying to straighten the leg
more stretching
Yesterday we went to the class for her first dance lesson and guess what? The missy came out of the room 10 minutes before dismissal. She said she wanted to go home. I asked the teacher what happened and she said she doesn’t know. The missy also was not paying attention in class and she wanted to do her own thing 
When we went home, I asked her why she did not pay attention and wanted to leave early. She told me that she didn’t like the music that was being played. Also, she said they were not like the MTV music videos she has been watching on the HDTV *slaps forehead* I hope she will behave better next week and doesn’t give me a headache.

At least, she was willing to go for the class. When I mentioned dancing class to my April, she doesn’t want to go at all.

Cool! Maybe Ashley not used to the environment yet. give her some time.

Try a few more times and I bet Ashley would beg you to bring her there everyday
It’s a fun activity to enhance their motor skill.
I’d planned to enroll Avery in a mother & daughter belly dance class, but I’m not sure my investment is worth. Later she told me she wanna quit after buying all the bells and “waist-hip” apparel….

Maybe hip hop dance is too advance for her. What about ballet classes? Gwen loves to dance. If I’m in KL, I might enrol her to Musikgarten.

Dancing is an interesting activity. I’m sure she will like. Just give her some time to get use to it and also to make some frens.
