To Dance or Not to Dance?

I have a 2.5 year old girl. Since welcoming her baby brother 4 months ago, she has been having a little bit of a hard time (her dad also started new hours at work and now works weekends, which does not help). I decided to try to find her an activity to do to try to help pass the time, and so she would have something all to herself. I thought dance would be perfect because she’s always dancing around the house. I took her to a trial class and she LOVED it. She did very well, listened, participated, and had fun, so I decided to enroll her.

Since that initial class, it has gone downhill. We’ve gone a few more times and she has, in all those classes, only sporadically participated. She only listens when it’s something she wants to do. If she doesn’t want to do it she will try to interrupt the teacher, bother the other kids, or get into things she knows she isn’t supposed to get into. It is really embarrassing because she is the only kid in the class that’s doing something like this. We have talks before class about how she needs to listen to the teacher and do what she’s supposed to, but she still will go off and do her own thing.

In spite of this, she still says she loves dance class. She gets excited when I tell her that dance class is coming up and she’s very happy seeing the teacher and the other kids every week. Even after she mostly doesn’t participate she leaves smiling and says she wants to go back.

The class she’s currently in is a special summer session, and there is one more class left before it ends. I need to decide soon if I’m going to try to keep having her go during the school year and hope she starts listening or pull her and try again later. I know she’s not even 3 yet, and a lot of this kind of behavior is normal, but I also do need to consider the wellbeing of the rest of the class.

What would you guys do if you were me? Keep sending her, or pull her?
