"As Sophia already said - competitions could highly motivate her.
But performances are also good motivation. The kids that I teach always work harder when they now they have a performance soon. I make them a new routine (they love routines and…"

Sophia Schoch replied to the discussion 'How to maintain motivation in a young dancer?'"Put her in competition. When my students get bored with their steps I teach them something new. Hacing something new to master always keeps them motivated. Competition gives them something to work towards as well."

My daughter - who was six last week - has been dancing for 9 months now. She took to dancing straight away and for the first 6 months every week she learnt a new step. The pace of learning has slowed recently as she has most of her dances sorted - including an advanced reel - and her motivation to practice has dipped. How do you keep them motivated after the initial rush of learning new steps?
"Hiya! There's a group on Facebook which deals in second hand dancing shoes - you can place a Wanted add or respond to a For Sale add.If you add me as a friend on Diddlyi (or Faebook, if you're on it), I'll try to send you the link."

Cara Harris replied to the discussion 'When to buy hard shoes.... And what size'"eBay is normally a good site to get secondhand shoes from, also there are some that do an unbranded shoe, therefore bringing the cost down quite alot"
Cecile Greard replied to the discussion 'When to buy hard shoes.... And what size'"They do need to fit.
Try the internet, there are websites where people sell second-hand shoes. I don't know them off-hand but I know they exist."
Sandra Elson replied to the discussion 'When to buy hard shoes.... And what size'"Thanks unfortunately her school is really small and the other girls are a lot older. Can I get away with a much bigger size in case she grows? Or do they need to fit snugly?"
Cecile Greard replied to the discussion 'When to buy hard shoes.... And what size'"Try and buy then second-hand, see if there are any other students at the school that have outgrown theirs and are willing to sell them, that'll be cheaper."

My 5yr old has just begun to learn the hard shoe - shes desperate to have a pair of shoes but at £80 a go im a bit reluctant. She's only just a size 10 - what size should I buy - and when? Is there a cheaper model while she's learning?
