Ballet Isnt Good Exercise for Kids but Hip-Hop Is, Study Says

Only 30% of ballet class is spent in substantial exercise
.
Signing up your kid for ballet class might seem like a great way to get
them some exercise. But when ranked against other forms of dance in terms
of how much exercise it provides, ballet class didnt even come close to
first position.

In children, the type of dance really mattered. Hip-hop was the most
active kind of dance, with 57% of class time being devoted to
moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Jazz took second place, followed
by partnered class, tap, salsa and finally ballet, where 30% of class is
spent in moderate-to-vigorous activity. (The rest of the class, as any
once-tiny dancer will remember, was spent stretching, standing and
listening to the teacher, the study found.) Flamenco class came in last,
with 14% of class spent in substantial exercise.
.
But in adolescents, dance forms were much more similar in terms of the
exercise they provided. Ballet actually rose in the ranks to first place,
matching hip-hop in intensity. About 30% of both kinds of dance classes
are moderate-to-vigorous for adolescents.
.
Dance is a golden opportunity to contribute to the health of girls while
theyre enjoying moving and being with their friends and building their
physical competence and all the other things that dance does, Sallis says.
He and his team found that when kids are just learning a skill or a step,
theyre not particularly active until they put multiple steps together in
a routine. Thats when most of the activity takes place, he says, and by
teaching fewer steps and practicing more combinations, instructors can
really make dance class count.
