Question
My child is around five years old and has been complaining about leg pain recently. When is the best age for a child to start dancing?
Answer
It’s best to start at three years old. At that age, the waist and legs are very flexible, making it easier to train these areas, such as the waist, hips, legs, and ankles. However, the child must be able to endure the hardships. I started at three years old and have been dancing for nine years now, which is not easy at all! Avoid pursuing a professional career; it’s recommended to join an amateur dance troupe instead. Also, avoid gymnastics as it may hinder growth!
