I'm curious how important everyone thinks adding a ballet class would be to someone who is already on team, going 13 hours/week (level 5)? I know dd could use some polishing up when it comes to turns and basic positioning that you would probably only get if taken at a ballet class.
Our team used to have a ballet-type class incorporated into the workouts once a week for a rotation (about 45 minutes) but that's gone away and they just practice on the the spring floor, not ballet.
If your dd takes a ballet class in addition to team, would you say that it makes a big difference or do you think it is just something that I should let go and figure will be taught enough during practice time?
My dd scored pretty well in level 4 last year on floor (usually her highest event score) but I just wonder if she would have taken a ballet class in addition if that would have helped some of her gracefulness. Not sure how much of that can be taught - lol.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
