How can parents best support a young ballet dancer? 🩰
Supporting a dancer goes far beyond getting them to class. As young dancers navigate training, comparison, auditions, disappointment, and growing independence, the support they receive outside the studio can be just as important as what happens inside it.
In our newest Dance Education Guide, Ballet School Coordinator and Senior Company Artist Abbi Johnson shares her perspective on supporting young dancers through their training while helping them develop into confident, curious, and independent artists.
From knowing when to step in — and when to step back — to maintaining perspective, balance, and a life outside ballet, this guide explores some of the questions we hear most often from dancers and their families.
