The other answer is right on!\n\nTo be honest they are not learning ballet at even three years old, they are gaining motor development and getting used to a class environment. \n\nWait until she is at least three. Keep your expectations realistic.\n\nMost professional schools of ballet will not even let them into pre-ballet until they turn four. Professional schools tend to be non-profit so they can do this. Ballet for three year olds is a money maker for a small studio, but a legitimate studio will be upfront about what you are really getting out of it. The term pre-ballet is a hint, and if the class is for four to five it is also a hint you are dealing with a professional school. \n\nFor a three year old look for classes labeled “creative movement” or “parent and me” and you will have a better experience. I would try the community center, and if he or she shows a talent or love of ballet look for a classical ballet studio when they turn five that is not a “tap, jazz, hip-hop, and ballet school” but a pure classical ballet studio, there is a huge difference.

Hello! Here are the top 5 elementary schools in that area, ranked by 2006 Academic Performance Index (API) score:\n\n1. Sage Canyon Elem. School (Del Mar) - 966\n2. Ashley Falls Elem. School (Del Mar) - 958\n3. Carmel Creek Elem. School (Solana Beach) - 956\n4. Solana Pacific Elem. School (Solana Beach) - 954\n5. Torrey Hills Elem. School (Del Mar) - 952\n\nNote that the statewide performance target is 800, so all of these schools are doing considerably better than the average. API ranges from 200 to 1000, based on statewide test scores, so these schools are doing very well indeed.\n\nI would suggest relocating to Del Mar since the top two elementary schools by API are located in the Del Mar school district. I would also suggest Del Mar since the Sage Canyon school district overall (including middle and high schools) is the best-performing school district in that area. That's something important to consider for when your children move on to middle school or high school. However, if you like Solana Beach, the difference in test scores between the Solana Beach and Del Mar school districts isn't that large. Either way, your children will be getting a great education. Del Mar, Solana Beach, and Carmel Valley all have excellent schools, better than the ones further south on San Diego's coast to Pacific Beach. \n\nGood luck with your move!

My daughter lives in Encinitas, California.  It is a suburb of San Diego.  The weather there is perfect...not too hot and not too cold.

Enroll him in a Marial Arts Class for kids.  My three year old nephew is in it and he can't stop talking about it.  If you feel he's too young for that, enroll him in some other from of class like mommy and me or something along that line.

If you want to be a dance teacher for K-12 students in public schools, then you need to search for a college dance program that offers a focus in pedagogy AND leads to certification (which isn't the same thing). Dance Magazine puts out the best College Guide where you can find this information. The Guide is sold at many newsstands wherever Dance Magazine is sold. You can also buy it online plus register to use their online version. \nhttp://www.dancemagazine.com/college_guide/?PHPSESSID=ffb0497a85d7c5a25115d1dd2e0e82e6\n(The last time I used their online version, however, I didn't think much of it. Stick with the print copy.)\n\nHOWEVER, if you wish to teach dance in a private dance studio to all ages of dancers, then what you're looking for is certification through the various dance organizations such as the Royal Academy of Dance, Cecchetti Council of America, the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, etc.

I dont know how big a city sunnyvale is, but if you can find a country club or something similar in your town or a nearby city, then those are usually the easiest places to find instructors.

Yellow pages has on-line web source:\n\nhttp://national.citysearch.com/\nand so does AOL and yahoo.\n\nWhy are you looking?  To sell something to them or find a good studio?  I way to find a good studio is to check to see if the teacher has a B.A., B.F.A. in dance, an R.A.D. award, or past pro experience.  And I would watch the class and ask how many dancers have gone pro with the studio.

San Diego State is a much larger university than CSUS and would more likely have more resources (teachers, classes, etc.). Also, living close to the beach beats living close to a cow pasture.  I would choose SDSU!!!

Check out:\nhttp://www.kidslovelondon.com/kll/index.html\n\nHas some great ideas on it.\n\nWhat about Battersea Park Zoo? Recently been refurbished and has a good selection of animals in there. Also you have the park to walk around which has lots of wildlife on the lakes and a deer enclosure.\n\nThere are city farms at Vauxhall, Surrey Quays, and one in Merton which also has a riding school (bit young I know but if she likes horses she can at least go see them)\nhttp://www.deencityfarm.co.uk/\n\nCheck your local borough council website as they often organise many events such as painting activities, library storytime sessions and activity "playgyms" for toddlers.\n\nFailing all that get her to sleep and then go down the pub!
