Hi That's great thank you all for your advice.

Thank you for your post. I have thought of going back to ballet for a while. I completed my BBO grades and as there are no BBO schools in my area, I thought that I might go along to an RAD Intermediate class with my dd, however, I just wanted to find out the experiences of others regarding different syllabi. I was very surprised when a BATD dance school indicated that it did not matter that both my dd and had BBO grades from another area, that I would have to start at grade 2 or 3 at a push my dd would also have to start almost at the beginning too. My dd is keen to pursue a career in ballet - either performing or teaching and she and I will now look for RAD classes in our area. So, after all that, thanks to everyone for their help.

Thank you so much for that. My mind is clearer now and the fact that I have told recently by a BATD teacher that, while I completed all by BBO grades I would have to start BATD at grade 2. What a piece of absolute nonsense. I totally agree that RAD surpasses all others. I am not sure where BBO stands, however, BBO has recently revised their syllabus but once again I'm not sure how that sits with RAD.
