    Try using variations from well known, or not so well known, ballets and songs from popular ballets, so that your students can practice remembering the music and recognizing different composers and ballets. You can also find many CDs online now of Ballet goes Pop and other fun Disney CDs where kids know the music and have fun listening to.

    At most professional schools and companies around the United States, there is usually a fall performance, a winter performance (usually holiday based), and a spring academy showcase. I think 3 times a year is a decent amount, although if what she really loves is performing, maybe finding another studio would be beneficial. Preparing for performances can take 3-4 months sometimes, so 3 performances is a good amount in my opinion. If she loves her friends at her studio and is okay with that amount of performances, I wouldn’t recommend moving studios, especially if she doesn’t plan on dancing as a career.
