Gymnastics...

It was right I did gymnastics because it's a good training for the body, like ballet or dance.  They do let you perform and dance with the gymnastics skills.  The thinking is you stop, maybe around puberty, but still do dance/ballet and probably would do a classical orchestral musical instrument.  (Anyone can do piano or get into it, maybe with money and time.)

The funny thing about dance is people move to dance team or, like ballet, even quit or go to cheerleading like some gymnasts end up doing, too.  Actually, ballet takes pictures in costumes, like dance competition team and has The Nutcracker yearly for Christmas, in which everyone performs, which can also involve a resident company of "young adults" of the time.

The nice thing about gymnastics is it probably does revel and "take pride in" that it's probably better regarding things like being based on something cuter and not just "pop music" or "classical music" for ballet.  The problem is that they can get shuffled into cheerleading, and that's totally different and not even attractive for a gymnast.  It becomes beast-y and a "popularity contest."  The fun thing about dance team is probably the football game and dancing with the band and in front of the flag team, as well.  It also works with the cheerleaders.  They are probably the most sought after on Facebook and must post pictures of their children and not exercise, like maybe if they are already attractive enough.  A gymnast still might not feel like that's the smartest thing, like say over ballet.

Everyone "sings."

So, I wonder if it makes sense for a girl who does gymnastics until almost puberty to do "dance."  I guess it would be a busy schedule to compete in both when young.  When dancers and ballerinas do gymnastics, often it's to gain tumbling skills or to do a back walkover and maybe other things.

I've got to say, in my day especially, doing gymnastics is probably better for the way it's cuter and more disciplined.  However, I would also do ballet and dance on the side so you don't get clumsy and to gain an edge over when you do dance to compete in gymnastics.  Some gymnastics studios even offer dance.  It could be there or maybe at a dance studio.  You could always switch into competition later as a better be than not taking any classes if your schedule works.  I would quit gymnastics when I got older, though.  I don't want to train my whole life just to flip a little more.  I would still do gymnastics and probably be allowed to do it for fun enough.  So, I do do art.  As for classical orchestras, I guess I would look at that and wonder if I'd not be able to do ballet recitals if I was in an orchestra young.  I can say it's fun and you're supposed to learn something.  I was actually in piano and wanted to be in orchestra, but I didn't know which instrument, yet, so I changed in college.  So, yea, I would start some instrument, hopefully the right one, when I was around 5 or something, possibly significantly younger.  I'm not sure what age orchestras usually start, but many schools just have band.  Maybe, they do orchestra after school.
