My DD has been a JA and is in her 3rd year. Our Junior Associate Insight Days take place at our centres across the UK or online. I think that for girls, there are something like 10 applicants for every one JA place, and of course they are all children whose own teachers have identified them as having potential.

Of course it is unlikely that she would get in but there's no way you could say no if they were succesful is there? I would thoroughly recommend your dd auditions. Stretching muscles before they are fully warmed is not a good idea. Far from knowing what they are doing, the parents encouraging their children in the extreme stretching prior to auditions etc could well be doing more harm than good. And she may well be exactly what the RBS are looking for! I also said that it is not a test of how good a dancer you are, but they are looking for the children that they believe are the most likely to benefit from this particular type of training and that that does include looking for particular things in how your body is built.
