Guest MasterPuppeteer Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Just curious as to what your darling children's after-school schedules are like. I have a 5 yo DD and here is her schedule: Monday: 1 hour soccer practice Wednesday: 1 hour gymnastics Saturday: 1 hour soccer game Sunday: 45 minutes pre-ballet After soccer season ends, she is asking for another hour of gymnastics or ballet. I'm still mulling it over. As for my non-dancing 7 yo son, he has gymnastics and soccer too, and we are going to add hip hop and ballet to his roster after soccer season is over. How about you guys?

CDR Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 My daughter will be 5 next week and she does the following: Monday 1 hour gymnastics Tuesday 1.5 hours ballet Thursday 45 minutes cheerdance & 30 minutes Scottish Saturday 40 minutes ballet & 30 minutes modern I've got her name down for swimming lessons which should be available in a couple of months and also another evening of gymnastics but I think it'll be about a year before a space is available. All her dance classes are free by the way as I run the school! Quote Link to comment

slhogan Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 This is my son's first "busy" schedule (he'll be 10 in a few weeks). Up 'til now it's just been 2 or 3 days a week of 1 hour ballet classes. This year he really wanted to go all out, and I'm cautiously allowing it. He is currently taking a year off from the big company-affiliated ballet school and having a "fun year" or two before it's time for him to get serious in ballet. He wanted to try other dance forms besides ballet, experience some dance competitions, and spend time with gymnastics again mastering that elusive back handspring (he quit gymnastics to do ballet at the age of 7). So, we're temporarily at a small, local dance school. His teachers at the company ballet school are aware of what he's doing and are supportive. I may be wrong, but I think boys have the luxury of putting off serious training a little longer than girls since they don't have that all-encompassing goal of going en pointe by 11 or 12. Anyway... this year's schedule: Monday: 1 hour boys gymnastics (level 4 recreational class) Tuesday: 1 hour ballet, 1 hour jazz Wednesday: 1 hour ballet, 1 hour tap (morning homeschool classes), 1 hour tumbling class at gymnastics (afternoon) Thursday: 1 hour Cub Scouts Friday: 1 hour ballet, 1 hour stretching class Saturday: 2 hour junior company rehearsals, 2 hours Nutcracker rehearsals (Oct-Dec) Quote Link to comment
BelaNina Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Dd's afternoon schedule this year: Monday: 1.5 hours technique/30 minutes pointe/45 minutes variations/rep Tuesday: 2 hours ballet technique at a lower level (2 classes in a row), second hour en pointe Wednesday: 1 hour modern/1.5 hours ballet technique Thursday: Hang out with friends! Friday: 1 hour pilates/1.5 hours technique/30 minutes pointe Saturday: 1.5 hours technique/30 minutes pointe Saturday afternoon - Sunday: Almost always has a sleepover either at our house or a friend's house In addition, she will have rehearsal hours in November and December for her ballet school's winter production in...January! As I was typing this, dd told me that her teacher wants her to add another 1.5 hour technique class. Quote Link to comment
