Your precious little angel is now ready for the world stage. She's just turned four and has decided that she's going to be a prima- ballerina when she grows up. Being the world's best Mom, you know what you have to do before signing her up at one of ballet dance studios Calgary is home to.

Because male dancers are often seen as "odd", feminine or even "Mommy's boys", it may be frustrating for your son to balance his love of dancing with what is "expected"from him. You should remember that dancing can have physical and mental benefits. Not only can it help to build strength and muscles, it also improves balance, posture and co-ordination.

How many times have you heard that someone has taken up this form of dancing "for the fun of it"? And if you have mentioned wanting to do this, has anyone ever said that you can't take up this form of dancing at this stage of your life - that you should have been taking classes since before you could walk! This is just simply not true now.

One of the best reasons for taking up dancing now rather that at a very young age, is that you're in good shape. Yes, that's right - you're probably better off than the professional dancers. By the time a professional dancer has turned twenty-five, they will more than likely be struggling with knee problems, tendinitis, torn hamstrings and back issues.

Another way to encourage your son would be to compare dancing to sports. For example, soccer players practice to improve their foot speed, just as dancers also practice foot speed. Track runners jump hurdles, just like dancers practice jumps. Weightlifters train by lifting weights at their gyms, just like male dancers practice lifting their female partners.

Next up: hair buns. One word: YouTube. There are ballet buns, low buns, high buns, flat buns, middle buns, left parted buns, right-part high pony-tails, to name a few. You'll also be able to really handy tips and tricks about frizzy hair and bobby-pins. And as part of the budget, you'll need to take out a second mortgage for all the hair nets, hair ties, bobby pins and hairspray that you're going to be buying!

Adult classes normally run for about an hour, which usually begins with warm ups at the barre (the long railing along the wall) and will then probably move to the floor center for the other movements. Don't worry about what to wear, some dancers prefer tight, form-fitting clothing for dancing, but you can dance in your sweatpants and baggy shirt if that's what you find comfortable. The most important thing is that you can move freely in your choice of dance wear.

All jokes aside, once your little lamb is out there on the dance-floor, galloping around to the classical beat and you see her radiant smile and unrestrained joy, there's no way you'll regret getting her into a class at one of the most perfect studios in Calgary. Just sit back and soak in the delight at watching her doing the one thing she loves - dancing her little heart out!
