Re: Dance Exams
In my experience I would say your DD is working at an appropriate level for her age and probably a higher level than many so I wouldn't worry. As long as she is enjoying it and you are happy with the teaching. Many schools take time out for performances and exams take a back seat and that is right. ...

Re: auditions for full time dance schools
Thanks for the advice. I admire your DCs for going away to college at 16. It really shows maturity and a strong focus. DD is confident in some ways (she would get up and sing in front of people and doesn't get nervous on stage really) but we live in a fairly quiet place and she isn't that streetwise...

I found the lessons expensive and sometimes she didn't turn up and I never knew if...

Re: auditions for full time dance schools
Thanks for the replies. Felixgirl, I think you are right about getting non-syllabus experience. What a shame our county has just cut the funding for the county youth dance companies so they are gone. Up to now they have had an urban, a contemporary and an integrated company and all were a high stand...

Re: auditions for full time dance schools
Yes Pearl I know what you mean! We could never have considered vocational training instead of state school and some of the expensive summer schools are out of the question too, unfortunately. I always look out for free or reasonable workshops such as kidsweek and these have been great. DD has auditi...
