[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd didn't dance but she has a number of close friends who did (ballet FWIW which I think is especially intense.)  Every one of them quit at some point in high school because of the time demands, and my understanding is they all kind of wished they had done it sooner and been able to try more new things in high school.  I'm not suggesting your dd should quit, but if she is doing for for fun and not driven to do at high level it might be worth looking into less time consuming options so she can also take advantage of all the new opportunities in high school.[/quote]

My daughter is in a similarly demanding sport and a lot of girls either quit in HS or drop to the less demanding track. I’m going to let my DD take the lead bc the sport means so much to her, but I do sometimes force her to take a break and act like a normal teen. I do think involvement in an activity like that is good for discipline, learning time management and keeping out of trouble. [/quote]
