[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter's dance schedule just came out and on Tuesday, wed, and Thursday's[b] she will need to be in the studio from about the time school gets out until 8:15. It takes 30 minutes to get home, then shower, so she won't be ready to start homework until 9pm at the earliest.[/b] If she gets to bed by 10:30 she will still be able to get 8 hours of sleep. She is starting middle school so I do predict she will be doing homework right up till 10:30. [/quote]

When is she supposed to eat dinner???[/quote]

You eat at the studio.

OP, I was on a busier dance schedule than that (add Monday plus weekends) from 6th-12th grade. I ate dinner at the studio, I did homework during show changes or when there was a 15-30min gap between classes. Everyone else did the same thing, so it was normal and productive. I slept about 8 hours. It takes discipline and dedication to keep up with that sort of training, but I don't believe it harmed me in any way. [/quote]
