  1. Okay we will have a talk about it tomorrow evening. Although I now think my younger dd is veering towards changing her mind about which school she is wanting to go to.
  2. That was for my older dd however even though she liked it there my younger dd didn't hence the reason we are looking at moving now.
  3. Tomorrow we're going for a trial session. I will ask questions then before the desicion to audition or not is made.
  4. We live in East Anglia. It's about 2 1/2 hours to London.
  5. Unfortunately it is too late , I think, for my dd to audition for associate programmes as she is going into yr 6 this Sept.
  6. When I spoke to her teacher yesterday, she said that even though she would love to have my daughter in just her school she also said that due to the fact that she aspires to become professional she would need more hours than what she could offer her. Even so, she said that she would still offer her on Thursdays and Saturdays if the classes didn't clash with the other school and/or comps if my dd wanted to do them. Also, she said to consider auditioning for a vocation dance school for yr 7 as well as summer schools for 2017.
  7. At the moment she is nine however she is going to be ten in just over a month and in September she was going to up her hours of dance any way. We are telling her current dance school at her lesson today. Hopefully she will still be able to carry on with swimming, violin and ukulele, as she is naturally energetic and we aren't that strapped for money. I will ask her again but I do think she loves dance the most out of all of her hobbies and she does realize that at some point she is going to have to commit to it full time anyway, due to the fact that, like her older sister, she wants to be a professional ballet dancer. N.B. she does have the physique for classical ballet.
  8. Recently, my dd2 was entered for a dance event for ballet and modern and even though she didn't win any prizes we have received a letter inviting her to audition for a school that is close by's comp. programme. If she did get through to this then she would be doing 4 hours comp work a week as well as an extra three hours of Grade 3/4 ballet and two hours of Grade 3/4 modern. Also she could also do an hour of Grade 2/3 tap. At the moment though she is doing 45mins grade 2 istd ballet as well as 30 mins grade 2 modern/tap a week, so I am worried it would be too much of a leap for her. I would be very thankful if anyone else can settle my worries on this topic. Thanks in advance.
  9. My DD1 is 11 and has been doing ballet and tap since she was 3 and modern since she was five. In may she is doing her grade 2 istd ballet and in july she is doing her GRade 3 istd modern. Also she is studying for her Grade 2 istd tap. At the moment she does 2 1/2 hours of ballet a fortnight. 1 3/4 hours of modern and 3/4 hours of tap a fortnight. Are these grade average for her age? PS: she is quite a serious dancer.
