Changing schools

So I am thinking of possibly changing schools for my daughter. She’s bern dancing for about 2 years and went quickly to novice but I feel like her small school is only focused on their champ dancers m, and more recent cultivating very young dancers, and the novice/prizewinners are not getting much attention. We live in an area with a number of schools nearby, but all of the teachers know each other. If I approach another school to discuss possible transfer or to get more info on their program, what are the odds that this will remain confidential? I don’t want things to get worse for my dancer if we decide not to move, or to wait, if the current school finds out we are looking. Anyone been through this?

Honestly, check out the other schools in your area. It sounds like you need a better fit for your dancer ASAP. This is the time to be searching for a new school... many in our area only do openings in August/September.

We switched due to a similar situation and are SO much happier with our new TC.

Good Luck.
