Dd1 did Pre-primary last Xmas and is about to do Primary. So after Xmas she will move in to Grade 1, and her ballet teacher says that requires two 45 min classes each week. Is this really the case? It seems a lot for a 6yo.
I know her teacher is v keen they do well (eg will only put then in for exams if she's pretty sure they will get a distinction) and I was wondering if she perhaps is too pushy? Or is this standard for a good ballet school?
Dd1 loves ballet and would go every day if she could, the issue is more that I don't want to end up with something every day after school - not least because it's not much fun for her little sister to have to sit on a corridor for 45 mins.
