Hi Srikanth, Your daughter is at the best age to start dancing. I would suggest to start with classical dancing. It can be Indian classical or western classical. However, there aren't a lot of options for western classical. Classical dancing builds a strong base and foundation for music and dance, which eventually helps you with various styles. From my personal experience I can say that a strong base in classical dancing helped me learn various other styles of dance. read less

As she is just 5yrs i think she should begin with a classical dance because classical dance is the base for every other dance.later she can do western which will be easier for her to grasp.if u r interested to begin with learning bharat natyam then u can contact me as i teach bharatnatyam privately.

Indian/ Western/ classical/ Contemporary really does not matter, as long as it's a true teacher who instils in her a love of beauty, perseverance and dedication. Ultimately, it has to be trial and error. Give importance to her opinions - expose her to different forms and ask her what she wants to learn,...

Indian/ Western/ classical/ Contemporary really does not matter, as long as it's a true teacher who instils in her a love of beauty, perseverance and dedication. Ultimately, it has to be trial and error. Give importance to her opinions - expose her to different forms and ask her what she wants to learn, but be prepared for the fact that once she starts a particular form, she may not like it. Sooner rather than later, she will find her true passion. Good luck and happy learning to your daughter! read less

Hi,this is Susmita. As per my opinion 5years kids should go with Indian contemporary or Bollywood. Classical dance is very stressful dance so wait for few more years.

I suggest go for Classical dance classes first preferably bharatnatyam or kathak. It will help to make the base stronger and further it will be easier for the child to learn other forms.

Childhood is indeed the perfect age for any kind of learning to happen. Their minds are fresh and body teems with energy and enthusiasm. It is an excellent form of exercise as it includes yoga based stretching, aerobic and high-endurance movement levels. Besides the basic grammar of movement, in pure dance or nritta, the focus is on developing speed, strength and stamina. It offers great benefits in developing the body of a growing child eg. improves posture, strengthens the arch of the foot and fingers and eye & neck muscles. It offers many therapy benefits to handicapped children e.g. improves body balance and mind-limb coordination. You should start teaching your 5 year old Indian classical form. read less
