When Should a Child Start Serious Ballet Training
Push ballet too early and a child risks injury, burnout, and growth-plate damage; wait too long and they may fall behind. These views differ on whether early specialization builds skill faster or whether a child-first pace that follows the body's readiness matters more. You can decide the safest path for a young dancer's health and progress.
