In some ballroom dancing schools or clubs, many children as young as 4 years old or younger are learning ballroom dancing. An expert who has been engaged in children's social dance teaching for many years said that the psychological development of children aged 4-5 is still in the primary stage and they can't understand the profound connotation of dance. At the same time, this age group is a transitional stage from image thinking to abstract thinking, and the ability of abstract thinking is not good, so it is difficult to understand some basic movements of ballroom dancing, so we have to imitate them mechanically. Younger children like to compare with older children, and it is inevitable that they will feel inferior.
The expert thinks that the best age to learn to dance international standard dance is 8 years old. Because at this time, children's abstract thinking and psychological development are relatively mature, and their sense of music is better; After experiencing campus life, children are basically stable in all aspects, which is the best time to carry out introductory training in ballroom dancing.
