phtthp:

i notice that a lot of ballet girls with long hair tend to bun up their hair, look very femine & nice.


if a child has short hair - is there such thing as can buy a false bun (sounds silly to ask, but curious)? because my daughter insist on want to keep long hair, but our weather here is so hot & humid, sweat a lot.

Hi, Phtthp,

my daughter used to wear short hair for the same reason as you mentioned, but for her ballet exam, i have to let her keep long hair so that it can be bunned up. In her class, no kids use fake bun though i support your idea. But if short hair to be bunned up by something fake, we need to apply gel or spray, right? Personally I am quite against the idea of gel as anything chemical is no good for small kids

Hi,

Is it necessary to take pre-primary exams? Or can we skip the lower grades?
Any thoughts on this?

Hi, my DD skip primary level. But she did take pre-primary exam before she was promoted to Grade 1.

So i guess it is possible to skip pre-primary. Please confirm with the teacher as different syllabus might have different requirements.
