If you are moving to Columbus, there is a new discussion sparking interest for children – ballet versus hip-hop classes in town.

A new study published in the journal Pediatrics reports that hip-hop classes provide the least amount of “standing time”. Basically, if you are looking for a class that your kid will love, while getting exercise, hip-hop classes are the way to go – rather than the popular ballet.

Since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per day, they also recommend that schools or afterschool programs provide 30 minutes of this activity. So if you are going to enroll your child into an afterschool activity, you should ultimately choose one that provides the greatest amount of constant activity – not so much ballet.

More results – partnered dance classes came in second, with 22.3 minutes of constant activity; followed by jazz, tap, and Latin dance classes. Another twist on the findings – private studio classes prove to be more productive and active, than compared to community classes.
