DD is still so young.
She attends a dance school (not an actual school) but she does so many classes with them (all the ones she can do for her age) she is there all day Saturday, at the moment - doing ballet, tap, musical theatre, conditioning, tumbling, etc. etc. she is there from 9 am - 6 pm. It's bloody long, but she loves it.
She also does swimming, football, parkour and art club. These are all in the week though.
Her dance teacher has suggested she drops all these and attends some other (invitation only) classes in the week. Things like junior ballet scholars class, etc. and has asked her to join their junior competition team (without an audition) which requires 3 extra classes a week and then a competition once a month.
Does this sound like a lot? She is young, but absolutely loves it, she'd drop all her other classes in a heartbeat for dance, but is that really a good idea?
