Dd is 15 (yr 11) , she really wants to do this, so I have been doing some research on her behalf.
She is, without doubt, a very good singer, her acting is ok, and she is looking for more opportunities to perform. Dance is a worry, she has had no formal training, but have found her some tap and contemporary classes to start next week.
My concern is that she will be auditioning with people who have been dancing since they were 4. All the schools say they are looking for "potential", and can spot it?
I think I am asking "how great do you need to be?"
One course I looked at had 1500 applicants for 45 places
Should I try to gently guide her away from this course ( not sure I can), or is it really true that the tutors can work with "potential"
By the way, I often look at the "notapushymum" forum so don't need guiding there
