Very well done. But terrifying. High performance dance leads to mental illness.

It’s called a psychological thriller. But if you don’t like horror movies, skip it.

5yr old Ballet

5 year old Kaylee takes 3 hours a week of Classical Russian Ballet.

This is very helpful for her rhythmic, artistic gymnastics and competitive dance. …

Click PLAY or watch a clip on YouTube.

The secret of the former Soviet system was to schedule for young kids an hour daily of artistic preparation (mainly ballet) and an hour daily of tramp.

But in 2011 in a free market, most gyms simply cannot afford that much time. Nor can they budget for ballet instructors, many who insist on being paid more than coaches.

It’s a dilemma.

Many little girls who love acrobatics, hate dance. Another dilemma.
