Has anyone had experience of the above. How the day runs and general standard please?

Hi there

This is my first post  

 

My dd took part in these awards last year. It takes the form of a ballet class in front of an adjudicator (much like an audition). Children are split into groups according to grade. My dd was in the Grade 3-4 group. The parents can watch the class, then there's a short break and the awards are announced. They pick one winner and two (or maybe three) commendations based on technique, performance and musicality. They can win trophies/bursaries/vouchers etc.

 

It was initially a bit nerve-wracking for dd (she was one of the youngest and had only just started grade 3), but the teacher was so friendly and gave such a lovely class that she definitely enjoyed it. It was all quite gentle as competitions go. There was a mix of standards, I'd say. DD wasn't out of her depth, despite being new to grade 3.

 

Hope that's useful!
