How old should a child be to start learning dance?

Patient's question:

The child is around 5 years old. Recently, for some unknown reason, they often complain of leg pain. Could you please tell me at what age is it appropriate for a child to start learning dance?

Doctor's answer:

It's better to start learning at the age of three. At that age, children's waist and legs are very flexible, making it easy to train their waist, shoulders, legs, and ankles. However, it requires the child to be able to endure hardship. I started learning at the age of three, and now I've been learning for nine years. It's not easy! Don't pursue professional training. I recommend joining a dance troupe for amateur studies. And don't learn gymnastics—gymnastics will stunt your growth! The occurrence of pediatric orthopedic diseases severely affects the patient's work. In addition to active treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. They should protect the affected area, maintain a balanced diet, and avoid or reduce the chances of the disease recurring.
