She came back without the clips on her hair. PaPa told me they said her hair's not 'tidy' enough. And only black clips are allowed. So PaPa bought the extra strong hold gel when he went out later in the evening. We were also notified of the 2nd mock exam. I didn't know there'll be another one before the exam (end of April). Looks like ballet exam is a serious business.
I wonder how she did in the mock exam. We should be getting the feedback later. But I heard it's not too difficult to get through the Pre-primary level. One good thing is she's not terrified of the exam. She was looking forward to the mock one. :D
~ before going for her mock exam ~
Ballet is an expensive activity. She started learning in April last year. As early as 6 months before the exam, she has to attend classes twice a week (to prepare for the exam). Apart from paying for the almost doubled fees, it's somewhat troublesome to send her twice a week (instead of once). Most of the time, PaPa is the driver. Then for her exam, we've to pay for the new attires because she has to wear short sleeved leotard (current one is sleeveless) and a different coloured tutu. I don't mind getting new socks though as her old ones are loose (at the ankle) already. Luckily we didn't have to get new shoes.

What level is she in?
Dont worry, she will do well :)
However have to agree with u, nowadays different from last time. My time, there was no mock exam. Straight exam.
yeah very expensive that why my mum never allow me to learn ballet. But they look so cute in tutus la!
yes, agree with u.. ballet dancing is not cheap.. last time i tot of enrolling my daughter when she was four.. but ended up in Yamaha.. but now what HA also not taking.. wrong decision.. she prefers dancing to playing music now..
Your girl looks so sweet in that attire! As long as our kids enjoy it, I am sure we are more than willing to pay yaa :)
she's so sweet in it :-) good to hear she enjoys the lesson.. yes, it can be quite expensive especially higher levels...
She looks adorable. Maybe hair spray would be better.
Maybe it's time to grow her hair long...so you can bun it up.
Actually, when I was a kid I used to learn ballet for awhile...but then stopped after FALLING ASLEEP in class one day. Heheheh
yeah, ballet is indeed an expensive activity. And yup, ballet shoes are costly too...luckily u don't have to get one :)
XY looked so graceful in her ballet costume. Good luck in her upcoming ballet exam :)
XY has got very high forehead. surely a very smart girl!

Expensive but worthwhile if she enjoys it. I'm thinking hard if I should send my little girl for ballet. Let's see....
All the best to XY!
