My daughter has been dancing since before she was two years old. It started with ballet and evolved from there. She is ten year old now and knows many different forms of dancing. She still enjoys ballet, but she is really into hip hop and that is what she wants to do most of all.
At first, we were not very happy with this decision. We thought that ballet was a much more graceful form of art than hip hop was. Her teacher tuned us in, though, and we are okay with the decision now. She is a hip hop model to these kids and she explained that hip hop contains every bit as much grace as ballet.
We decided she could do this as long as she gave it her all and gave it as much dedication as she had the ballet classes. She promised she would and I have to admit that she is pretty good at it. I love to watch her dance and I know that she will be great one day. In fact, I think she is pretty great now.
