Thank you all for the solid advice! I feel like conditioning and being technically accurate are so important to prevent injury I'm just not sure if some of it would be over her head. I saw you could purchase a ja class to see what it’s like so I may her try it and get her thoughts.

Hello all. First post here but I’ve been reading a while. I have a daughter who is very into ballet and takes it seriously. She will be newly 8 (July birthday) by the time associates start in the autumn. Do you think junior associates are worth it for this age or is better to wait? I am a complete novice and know nothing about ballet myself, but 2 yrs ago she fell in love with it and hasn’t stopped. Right now she is doing two hours a week of classes and conditioning plus one hour of rehearsals for their show, so 3 full hours and she would do more if I would let her. I don’t want to hold her back, but also wonder how many are newly 8 (vs 8 turning 9) as she would still be 7 yrs old for auditions. Don’t know if that would put her at a disadvantage.
