Support thread for parents whose children are taking dancing exams!

[yellowhouse]

Hi, seen as there is a thread like this for music, I thought I would start one for dancing!!
My DD1 has her first ballet exam on Sunday, Grade 1 RAD. She also has her ISTD tap the following friday and just had her Grade 1 modern in May. It's been really busy to-ing and fro-ing from dancing school all the time, I will be glad when they are all over!! The good thing is that it hasn't put her off her dancing, she still loves it....I wanted to say good luck to all others who are going through dancing exams!!

I belong on both threads!!!!

Dd takes her Grade 1 piano tomorrow.

Grade 1 tap and Grade 2 modern next week (she has already done Grade 2 ballet)

Grade 2 LAMDA the week after.

Plus 4 hours of rehearsals each week for a show she is in.

How she does it all amazes me.

Good luck to your DD for today's piano exam and next week for the dancing exams!!!

My DD1 is also getting ready for her Grade 1 piano and violin, but we've left these until the autumn term as we couldn't fit it all in!!!

DD just did her Grade 5 Ballet, ISTD Bronze Foxtrot & Tango, IDTA Bronze Viennese & Jive, Silver Ballroom & ISTD 2012 award. She is taking Grade 2 tap and Jazz Awards - Bronze in September........oh and GCSE Spanish Oral & Geography controlled assessment

I also did my 2012 award & so did DH

Wow KatyMac, that is a lot of exams!!! I didn't even know some of these existed! Well done to your DD and good luck with her Grade 2 TAP and JAZZ!
Oh and well done with yours too!!!!
