From ballet class to soccer practice to piano lessons, children are increasingly engaged in activities outside of the home and school.

I have my family, my children - I have a lot of outside activities.

We do a lot of ballet movements in class. So if you don't have a Crunch gym nearby, you can check out your local ballet studio.

We have a really good seventh-grade class. Even though they're small, their soccer skills are so developed that there isn't that safety issue as much as there was before.

I tried a little of everything when I was little. I tried karate, I tried ballet, I tried piano lessons and singing lessons... I was a pretty normal kid, for the most part.

I don't think she has missed a class or rehearsal since the fall [when she joined Ballet Theatre].
