Teaching Ballet to a Girl with Hyperactivity

Question
Is it forbidden to teach my ten-year-old daughter ballet? My daughter has excessive energy and struggles to focus on her studies, and she loves to move a lot. Her teacher advised me to enroll her in a ballet course, and I have hesitated for years, but my daughter still wants it. Should I allow her to do it, even for a period of 6 months?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: This dance opens a forbidden path for her in the future and leads her to destruction, so you must replace it with something that achieves movement for her and benefits her in this world and the Hereafter, and God knows best.
