  1. Thank you julieW your so right!! she's only 8!!! Goodness me haha I need to just wait and let her have fun and enjoy and stop worrying haha my New Years resolution Super super forum thank you all - enjoy your weekend
  2. Thank you ever so much spanner x she is a very happy little bunny and i am very proud of her indeed! In complete honesty (I don't want to be deluded haha) and I certainly will not be offended, is this mark strong enough to think next steps or just slightly weak and needing maybe a bit more time or a really lovely hobby? Either way is good to know and we are so so so super proud:) x x
  3. Ok so results in today, she passed with a distinction 84%
  4. Thank you annaliesey - all really helpful I appreciate all your posts everyone!! Many thanks:) Thanks to you all, I have been able to look into all the different ja's locally to us etc and different websites suggested and managed to find so much useful information that now I have a much clearer understanding of the correct steps as such if needed - fantastic! You have all been so kind, so happy I joined Just awaiting dd exam results now to determined her progression and take it from there x
  5. Many thanks for your useful advice, it really helps
  6. Thank you everyone and what a great forum, so refreshing to speak with other who understand/have been through it all!! happy new year xx
  7. I didn't want to question the teacher to much actually believing 8 years old is far to young to be even thinking about the future in total honesty. The teacher makes it very clear regarding how proud she is, how she knows how much it means to her, how much she practices and her talent. She never hides this even in front of others which is why I decided to try and find out more before talking to her and making a fool of myself. She has mentioned the possibility of auditioning and regarding ja program's but we never go into detail probably my fault hehee. She is a very wonderful lady and we are blessed to have her teach I guess I do need to speak with her more if now is the time and I'm not to early jumping the gun here x
  8. No they don't! We wouldn't dream of leaving her teacher she is wonderful and my daughter and I adore her - I guess as long as now I research myself in order to make sure I am at least trying to do the right thing. It's so tricky as a mum sometimes I find, especially with ballet - I don't want to be that pushy mum but when there is something beautiful and different that shows through...x I'll at least be able to look back one day knowing I gave her support no matter what the future holds x
  9. Thank you spannerandpony:) As my daughter is the only pupil to be moving up to grade 3 and the previous grade 3's have all also taken the exam they will now be grade 4's. There is nowhere to place her and her teacher couldn't hold her back any longer as she has been so ready for some time now and doesn't want her dancing to become stale. The original class (grade2) is interesting, apart from the exercise remaining strength etc, my daughter tends to spend her time helping the other girls mainly. She really does enjoy this and it has helped her develop a wonderful confidence which she needed and made lovely friendship which are as essential, I am very grateful that she is able to take the other class alone in order to progress. It does leave me wondering even when the girls do move up, there most probably will always be this divide. I guess that's not important here only how hard she works and continue that matters?
  10. Thank you @lilac much appreciated, we live in the south east so I can look into the websites suggested I hadn't thought about other dance classes apart from ballet, that's a very good point thank you!
  11. Just a little more.. She still attends physio around 6 monthly and we carry out a home program to keep her core strong and the ankles and feet so I know this is an issue and hope it wii not told her back I'm her future. If she missed a class due to illness her feet will start to roll, she has learnt to recognise this alone and can now self correct even at 8 but it is still a concern I have. She takes a 45 min Saturday class in a group of 6 girls and a 45 min one to one class during the week. She was the one child to take her grade 2 exam as the other girls are not yet ready until possibly the summer. Due to this my daughter will need to remain with her class until summer when they are ready to move up apart from on her one to one class each week where she can start to study the new syllabus. She stands out so much in class that I pray it doesn't become a problem with the other girls or parents but can already feel it. She could just take the one grade 3 class but her teacher feels she must be dancing both. x
  12. Apologies in advance as I am new today to balletco hopefully I will learn my way around soon:) My question is regarding my 8 yr old daughter. She started life very differently from other girls as she spent the early year poorly and after recovering and missing so much of school and building friendships struggled socially. In order to get her back on her feet and start building strength, our specialist at the hospital reccomended physio and the possibility of a gentle dance class I.e ballet. She joined a class of girls of whom she had never met and fell head over heals in love with her weekend classes. That was three years ago and brings tears to my eyes when I now think how much ballet has enriched and played an enormous change in our precious little girl.... She is now quietly very confident, healthy, strong and continues to inspire ME constantly Anyway... (Sorry makes me emotional haha) she seems to breath dance, it has become part of who my little girl is. I'm sure this makes perfect since to a lot of you but to others I know, they have no uderstanding. She takes x2 45 min classes a week and has just taken her grade 2 exam RAD Her teacher is very proud of her and our heart couldn't be prouder BUT.... Knowing 0% about ballet I'm wondering how I can best help to progress her? Any advice will be much appreciated Keeping her still proves so difficult at home, it's constant...ballet even at the dinner table haha I've never known anything like it but at the same time do not want to get carried away. If there is potential I don't want to be the one responsible for not taking action, I would love to have the knowledge to support her and then don't want to look silly or make a fuss over nothing Thanks
