[quote=Anonymous]Agree with those who say the girl's feelings need to be considered. Not sure how some PPs are saying the girl loves to dance, wants to be in the recital, etc. I didn't see anything like this stated by OP. Maybe she hates dancing, the mom forced her to take the class, she is sick with dread about the recital. We do not know.

It does sound like this will be the girl's first recital, at age 9, whereas some others in the class may have been dancing since age 3 or 4. That could account for the difference in skill level. If it's true that the girl is very new to dance, OP could ask if she feels comfortable being in the recital and in the front row, or would like to wait until she's had more practice like the other girls. Maybe even at 9 she is still oblivious and innocent, and all seems absolutely fine to her, in which case I would let her go ahead. OP, you could praise her for learning so much in less than a year and working so hard. Probably you are noticing many more flaws in your daughter's performance than anyone else will, because their eyes will be riveted on their own DDs.[/quote]
