Another option for extracurricular activity we didn’t mention in our previous article: Ballet dance classes or classical dance classes. It is highly recommended for kids between 4-5 and 14 years old. The practice of ballet dance provides many benefits such as developing physical strength and agility, coordination, concentration, understanding of music and rhythm. Ballet practice will also improve shelf awareness and physical self-control, as well as children’s mental and emotional health. It is also an excellent way to relax and use energy productively at the end of the day.
If you are an expatriate in Beijing and you have young daughter, we wouldn’t be surprised if you would tell us that they were following ballet dance classes in your home country. You may have seen the benefits of this extracurricular activity and / or your daughter may be willing to keep practising this sport in Beijing: you have many classes options in Beijing! However, the language may be a barrier: according to our researches, we found only classes in English and in Chinese.
Please check the below table with classes available in Beijing according to their location, as we thought you may be interested to find out classes nearby your new home in Beijing. Prices vary depending on school. You will also see that we listed classes happening in International Schools in Beijing.
