I understand where you're coming from, only what do you do when your dd isn't being taught well, the teacher won't allow her to do more than she's doing (one ballet a week) and there is no-where within reasonable distance to go for extra? Sure she does associates once a month but she wants to go vocational and is being left behind. She is 12 and has been told the teacher puts everyone on pointe as late as possible. She never assesses before pointe, just puts the whole class on. She tried some vocational auditions last year but didn't get in and I feel it's due to bad teaching as I have been told she has perfect physique and lots of potential. We live rurally, there is nothing in our town for her. I travel 1 hour twice weekly as it is for her current classes and 3 hours once a month for associates. Any suggestions?
