Dance for boys
I really want to put Bear in a dance class. The way he flies around the house jumping and spinning, I think he would really love a ballet class or something with contemporary dance. When I look in our parks and rec flyer they seem to be speaking only the mothers of daughters. I wonder if there are any boys in the dance classes?
I think I will contact a few dance studios around here and see what I can find. I hate to pay a lot out at first just to find that he’s not really interested. We’ll see.
Anyone have experience with boys in dance classes?
I checked out a local dance school and talked with the director. The school offers a Creative Movement class for 3-4 year olds. There are also some beginning ballet and tap classes. We’re going to start with the CM class and make sure he really likes dance as much as I think he does. 
Both Bear and Bug want to take a Hip-Hop class and that’s fine, but I want them to learn ballet to get a good foundation first. Not only that but the Hip-Hop class is at the same time as soccer and they don’t want to give up soccer.
Bear begins his CM class in August and I can’t wait to write about how it goes!

How fun! My 3 year old is in gymnastics and doesn’t really care that he’s the only boy in the class.
