First, look for a studio that has qualified and experienced teachers. If the teachers don’t have a strong background teaching children, the instruction may be inadequate or even dangerous. Ask for references, and do your own research. Second, consider the amount of extra work and hassles the parents must deal with. Are rehearsals and performances expected to be attended by the parents? Are there many costume changes or additional fees? Are there a lot of rules and regulations that need to be followed? Third, look for studios that offer a big show at the end of the year. A recital is a great way for children to show off all that they have learned, and to gain confidence and satisfaction from their hard work. A well-executed show can also add to the overall enjoyment of being involved in a dance program. Finally, think about the overall experience. Does the studio offer a variety of classes that are interesting and age-appropriate for your child? Are the staff friendly and helpful? Are the facilities clean and safe? Taking the time to research and compare the different options available can make all the difference in the quality of instruction your child receives.
