And, this, ladies and gentlemen, is dance with purpose . . . 

focus changes everything

Why should a young child take ballet? 

"The study of ballet will teach your child that things do not happen instantly. Hard work, focus, and dedication take time to show results. Doing things right - over and over again - is more important than doing a difficult movement once. The foundation is vital. If you don't have a solid foundation of technique you will struggle once you get to really dance . . . the same is true of life. "
