            Probably when your friend says without experience, means no competition awards etc.

            I can’t imagine getting CO not being able to dance at all.

              Ya that’s what I thought too. She said no background though. So I don’t know. Wonder if it happens often.

                Sounds like too humble??

                I took a look at their criteria. It is stated need track record of at least some performance. Or at least ballet lessons.

                  I think your friend is just being modest. Or trying to understate her daughter's credentials. Some parents are like that. If not then is lying 😂

                    Don't be deceived.

                    Either the person is lying or don't want to let you know so much detail about how her girl got in, in case u ask her next for further more info, which she not willing to disclose,
                    so just conveniently brush you off, by saying this. Some people are like this.

                    If u say someone grades are average, that Is possible.
                    But if you tell me, totally absolutely Zero no dance background at all,
                    Nar cannot be !

                      Sometimes schools may admit dsa dance students based on other criteria esp if:

                      - they do not have a large pool of candidates to choose from
                      - the untrained dsa girl is super flexible and can pick up routines quickly
                      - any boys are preferred, training or no prior training is not important
                      - the untrained dsa girl has other skill sets like trained in gymnastics or martial arts and can perform dance tricks like front walkover back walkover, Aerial, butterfly kicks etc
