Hi,
DD is 14 (15 in summer). She’s a SB and RBS associate, and wants to pursue full time training.
She loves her “regular” dance school and has built strong friendships and has progressed steadily. However, as she is becoming increasingly serious about ballet, we are questioning the importance of graded or vocational exams.
She has just taken her G5 and intermediate exams and passed both with distinction. From hearing from others, we think that if she were with a different school she would probably be doing higher levels… does the level you get to in graded/vocational exams have huge importance when applying for full time training? Should she be looking to get to a certain level by the time she is hoping to start full time training at age 17? Or will schools be looking for their own specific qualities and not so much on vocational level?
