My daughter has just turned 13 and loves dance. She currently does 12 45 minutes classes a week, as well as helping with the pre primary classes of her dance school. She is about to take exams in Grade 4 and 5 ballet, grade 4 modern, grade 3 tap. She also takes classes in contemporary ballet, hip hop, pointe musical theatre, stretch and advanced tap.
She wants to do a btech in Dance as one of her GCSE options and her school offers this. What other opportunities should I be seeking out for her? As my username suggests I have absolutely no talent or knowledge of dance, and this is my first post on the forum.
As an aside she has had a big growth spurt over the last 2 years and is now 5ft 7 (at least, maybe an inch or 2 even more). She has some back problems during this but had some physio to strengthen her core and now seems to have settled down again.
Her dance teacher worries that the examiners will not take notice of her date of birth and understand she's 13 and 2 months as she looks a great deal older - both because of her height and ironically her ballet poise!
Any advice is gratefully receive!
