At age 5 he won't really be expected to have any experience.

I would just say what he enjoys doing - if that's dashing round the garden capturing pirates or dancing to his favourite song or climbing trees - whatever it is he likes whether it's commonplace or unusual will be fine.

Hi

No I didnt change his DOB but it did ask me to put my details in as a legal guardian because he is a minor how old is your daughter? Im starting to wonder if I am getting DS into this a bit to young and should maybe have waited a while.

You can take each day as it comes. You only have to apply for the things you want and you can say no to anything at any time.

It sounds as though you want the best you can for him - I would just be led by what he wants to do. It may be that a Saturday club might be all he needs at the moment.

Just making up stories and acting them out with friends at home could provide him with loads of fun. What sorts of opportunities are you hoping to find for him?

Hi Pg

Thankyou for your replies to my posts :D

He currently enjoys dancing and performing in any capacity he can he has a very good imagination and is very creative he is currently attending tap and ballet classes on a saturday morning which he really enjoys and is not fazed at all by being the only b boy in a class full of girls, hopefully in september he will be starting the new term at scream theatre school and being part of their boppin boogie beats sessions.

I really do want the best for him and will be happy with anything he gets the oppurtunity for although if he doesnt get anything we wont have lost anything I just want him to be able to have fun and enjoy what he is doing and meet children who have the same interest.

Sorry I was referring to dancemadmummy's last paragraph but I forgot to pick up the quote. Not just making random comments for a change :D
