But if the child is in the enlightenment stage, it is recommended to take the child to try children's ballet.

Ballet practice pays more attention to the balance and stretching of the body, and the step-by-step practice is conducive to the development of children's muscles and bones, so that the ligaments of the child's limbs can be stretched, the muscles become slender and tight, and the child's body shape is more trained.
