They should also include contemporary, tap/jazz, ballet. These days’ children have too much time in their hands to make mischief. Dancing is a discipline and require dedication and it should not only be available for girls but also boys; parents should stop the third world mentality, it is not the end of the world!.
Shouldn't be mandatory but voluntary. Neither of my parents nor most of our parents or us had to do it and we came out alright. Have mixed feelings about this but everyone has their own opinion and this is just mine.
