My DD is in Year 5, and has done dance for 6 years. It's like a 2nd family, and she loves it. She does 5 hours a week. She also does 2 hours of theatre group a week, 2 hours of gymnastics, and an hour tutoring. She's recently been invited to attend the competitive gymnastic classes which would mean going from 2 hours a week to 8 hours a week. So potentially, 28 hours of activities a week.
The dance group go to competitions 3 times a years and for each competition, the hours added in would clash with the gymnastics. My gut says it would be too much. She wants to do it all. We can drop the dance competitions side, and that would avoid clashing with the gymnastics, and also drop dancing down to 2.25 hours a week. But it's the group aspect of dancing she enjoys the most and dance won't let her do just that aspect, she has to do the core lessons, understandably. We are going round and round in circles - any advice/experiences, please? ( Sorry, just realised that this query reads like a maths question in an exam!) TIA
