Hi. I am new to the forum but have been reading posts with interest as my daughter who is 13 is a keen dancer. She currently attends classes twice a week and has just been entered for her intermediate foundation exam. The school only do these exams once every other year.
Whilst I am pleased for my daughter I was annoyed at the way the teacher announced who was taking exams at the end of class. Parents were in watching as it was the last class of term and she just went down through the register saying yes or no if they were to take their exam. No explanation was given to anyone told no and my daughters friend (who is 2 years older and has been in the class for longer) was a no. Having watched the class myself I am non the wiser as to how the children are picked and thought the whole process could be handled more sensitively. Seeing a couple of girls leave in tears was upsetting for all. Does your dance school do things differently? I want to say something to the teacher but don't want to rock the boat for my daughter.
