[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter recently started at the Washington School of Ballet and she has been placed in a level that is way below her skill level.
Due to Covid, she had to audition on zoom. Would it be unreasonable to ask them to reconsider her placement? Anyone have experience with this?

If you think she is way below then yes.  But TWSB wants PERFECT technique.  They move very slowly.  My daughter is on pointe and has never done anything but chasse across the floor.  No leaps, no turns, etc.  So even if your daughter can do a triple pirouette, if her technique isn't flawless they don't care.[/quote]

But when do they actually start doing more diagonals?

Fwiw, from what I’ve seen in recent years, technique in the upper levels was not what I were of call flawless.

What does diagonals mean?  Do you mean crossing the floor?  They've always done it, but it is very very simple.  I have no idea when they do more complex things.  We left after level 4 when my dd was on pointe for 2 years and couldn't do anything but chasse.[/quote]
