[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There must be something about the dancer personality because my shy, pretty 14 yr old daughter is EXACTLY the same as yours, so much so that I could have written every word (she even plays in the band). She has a best friend at school but tends to spend more time with the girls at ballet, for obvious reasons. At her old ballet school she had a group of really close friends in her level but we moved and she hasn't clicked with the girls in her new school in quite the same way.

She's not up for anything that would involve decreasing the time at ballet or that conflicts with class or rehearsals so the choices are limited. Things I've suggested that she hasn't shot down immediately all involve the theater program: working backstage, costume design, volunteering to help teach choreography for the musicals or being a dancer in the cast, etc. I know you said your daughter isn't into drama but there's so much more involved than just acting and they already have those stage skills! But they don't have to be on stage to participate.[/quote]

My goodness they sound similar. DD switched dance schools too and left a small group behind. Then she had trouble connecting with the new group (anxiety, Covid) and here we are. [/quote]
