    Maybe give the school a try for a few weeks and see if they change her placement – sometimes teachers need to see a student more than one time or get a feel for their work ethic before they can challenge them at the next level. If The school is resistant to let her advance, I would suggest staying local and maybe see if you can drop in at the other place on occasion. If your kid loves dancing, it’s more important that they are getting to dance as much as they want and can handle rather than be dancing at a more sophisticated school than for less hours. The more she exercises her technique, the stronger and better she’ll become. Hope that helps!!

    Hi! I’ve done a lot of costuming for my students and I’ve made multiple tutus! Decorating is the best part. Pinterest is a great place to gather visuals to help you get an idea of what you want. If you’re on a budget but have a vision for lace or appliqués or beading, go see if you can find an old wedding dress or evening gown at a thrift store – you can cut lace or beading or other detail work and arrange it on your tutu and sew it on by hand to decorate. I’ve made several tutus this way – check them out on instagram @reflexartsdance!
