I have been working on my RAD grade 5 for 1 year now, and was going to take it in the fall. Now there is a girl who wants to join. She has taken ballet before, but stopped at grade 3 about 3 years ago. Now my teacher is putting her in with me. She is the type of student who does not learn things quick, and when she does, she does not do it right. I was in private lessons too. Now I have to wait until April 2002 to do my exam because of this. I don't know what to do. I don't want to be mean, but I don't want to be held back.<BR>what should I do?

DancerChic - have you spoken to your teacher about this? Have you spoken to your parents about this? Perhaps they could have a conference with your teacher.

when my daughter did her RAD exam there were not enough to do it at her school so they went to another school and combined the kids maybe you could look into doing that.<BR>charlene

This is not fair for you, so you really should talk to your teacher about this.
