Hi,
I am planning to join my daughter to Bharatanatyam dance class, but one of my friend says that if she stops practicing she will lose her body shape. I am confused, so expertise please help me in this regard . Tanvi replied. Hi shalini, do not worry i am a dancer and i never faced these kind of issue. It all depends on your diet and the way you carry our lifestyle. Dance will rather keep you fit and fine. Ashna replied. Don't think about what will happen if she will stop it. If you wish to make her learn bharatnatyam then you should go for it and it is very nice too. There are many benefits for children who have learned bharatnaytam. Noona replied. Learning bharatnatyam or any other dance form is like learning cycling or swimming, once you know it you can't forget it so don't worry about her losing body shape. If you want her to learn it enroll her for it. NN replied. No it is nothing like that. If you want her to join Bharatanatyam then you should go for it. It is an amazing activity and it is also a part of your indian culture and it is always better for the kid to be close to the culture. No Name replied. Hi Shalini,
I do not know any thing about that but i can say you one thing you have taken good decision for your daughter so that she can increase her skills also she will become singer and good listener also and she looks even cute. Mouni replied. Hello Shalini Srinivas,
You have good decision that you want your kid to learn classical dance.It was good idea.But you need to make her practice regularly so that she will not forget the dance also.Do not get panic for every normal issue. No Name replied. Hello Shalini Srinivas,
I do not know about the post you have posted in forum. Because according to my knowledge any how if body has not given any exercise definitely body will gain weight.I hope you understand what am trying to say. red petal replied. even if you dance now and give up after years its not necessary that everybody will gain weight. it depends on every one's body type. if your body type leaned towards obesity then may have chances that she will starts gaining weight. and any of these may its dancing swiming, gymnastics or regular exercising, if you stop doing it you tend to gain weight after sometime because your body gets used to such activities and you stop doing it it will show its results. but you can replace it with any other body exercises it will help. Rishab R replied. I dont believe that's true. My wife used to dance and has given up now. She hasnt put on weight though. You can probably ensure that your child is in shape and healthy with aerobics or walking. She can take up any of it once she quits dance too! Varsha Tyagi replied. Nothing of the sort. I myself am a dancer and I am not practising rt now. But I havent gotten out of shape! Depends on your eating habits and life style choices :)
