I'm just wondering - and I didn't really know which forum would be appropriate for this - so I'm posting it here.
Is dance a highly recommended addition to gymnastics training?
Is it totally necessary?
At dd's gym, there is no dance program. There is a local studio, but they are quietly considered "competition" to our gym. You know - the competition that is not dare mentioned in the presence of the gym owners....
The studio offers tumbling, but not gymnastics. Since dd competes tumbling, I'm guessing *I* would be imposing sort of a conflict of interest situation on everyone by signing her up for dance.
The situation is that dd wants to take dance. She's been asking me for a while. I just keep kind of blowing it off - but am NOT against her taking dance. In fact, I would LOVE for her to take dance. I honestly feel that it will only HELP her in her gymnastics.
Any recommendations on what-to-do???
I think she's at a good age now to start dance, and I do feel that it could be an important part of her gymnastics. I'm just not really sure how to get her involved in dance at this point in time since it would involve frequenting another gym....
suggestions anyone?
