Just that really,

Dd does modern, ballet and tap. I appreciate this is probably a very open ended question but was just wondering how they typically progress and pass exams etc. If people with older kids could give me an idea that'd be helpful. Did you do anything outside lessons to help them when they were little? She's only 4 currently so obviously nowhere near taking any yet but just curious. Thanks

Mine will do her primary exam when she’s in year 2 and then will move into a grade 1 class sometime next year once she’s done it.

I’m surprised your 4yo has been to the primary classes though. There is a massive difference between what my 3yo is doing in her class versus my 6yo in her primary one. The letter is much more structured, the pre-school one is much more about story-telling.

I think it's 'pre-primary' if that makes any difference. The typical age to move up seems to be around 4.5. Yes it's quite a big jump from a 45 minute dance around with your teddy bears to 1.5 hours of structured lessons. She's holding her own and enjoying it though so far x

Yes, Pre-Primary tends to be 4-5 year olds, Primary 5-6 year olds
