assuming I or others could not keep up

Well ... Can you?

Maybe you're part of the tiny fraction of a percent of the population that is actually capable of understanding Quantum Physics at that level. Perhaps you have achieved a Ph. D. degree in theoretical physics. Congratulations!

Try NFL training camp instead. Or classical violin. It matters not ...

Advancement in any field of endeavor leads very quickly into territory where an increasingly large fraction of the population CANNOT perform. It does nobody any favors to put people who CANNOT perform into a class with those who can. It is a statistical fact that (approximately) half the population is below average. The "below average" folks in whatever field of endeavor will necessarily be excluded from more activities in it than the above average folks. Yes, this is discriminatory. So?

It’s a dance class, stop being so ignorant of people who do not fit your cookie cutter stereotype.

It’s a dance class for small children, not Army Ranger school.

Our child has a friend a few years older with Down Syndrome. They are all in the 8-12 age range and play together in the co-op we all belong to. He’s gentlemanly, well-behaved and keeps up with the group. No one has issues or problems, including him. He does not require more work or time.

He follows directions better than some “normal” kids. I wish all children were as smart, funny, and obedient as he is.
