[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, I'm hesitant to say where DC is now b/c on the off chance someone from the studio sees this thread I don't want them to feel bad that one of the families is thinking of 'shopping around' a bit.

I will definitely ask after the Summer Intensive, and I'm thinking that maybe closer to age 12 or so would be a better time to determine if DC is ready/willing for a step up in terms of seriousness and commitment.

Interesting info so far on the acknowledged top 2 studios in the area, thanks!  And I haven't seen many others mentioned so it's reasonable to think that I'm not missing the boat on any top-tier studios in the area...[/quote]

NP. Those are the two big ones, yes. That's NOT to say that there aren't other schools in the area that train their dancers well, but they have the largest, most comprehensive programs.

My DD's ballet school in NoVA is pretty good, they always place students at competitive intensives and tend to send a few each year to regional companies and college programs, and they had one extremely talented student accepted year-round to one of the European schools last year, but TWSB and MYB are at a different level. We're content with the training she's receiving but if she had both the dreams and the body type to get a spot in a major company, we acknowledge we would either have to move across the river or she would need to go away for high school. Alas, her knees aren't going to cooperate and she hates stage makeup so we don't need to worry about it.[/quote]
