Ballet and tap?headache

Hi, at 14, i was put into a class with little ones doing preliminary and in a class of those doing grade one and two. (tuesday was preliminary and grade two and thursdays was grade one) i didnt take part in any grade exams and was very quickly ( two-three months) moved out of the baby class. Then after 6 months i was taken out of the grade one class and just took part in grade two. The other girls did the exam and i was then 'officially' doing grade three, with girls aged 12-16 (this was then when i was 15) i completed that exam last november and i am now on grade four. You have just got to trust me when i say that it is worth it going through all the grades even if it is just within the space of a year. I dont think i would be doing as well as i am now without doing it. You will feel a little embarassed IF you are put in a class of little ones but after a few weeks they all sort of look up to you and follow your lead on the bar and stuff which i cute. Also having done gymnastics you wont be hanging in lower grades for long, as you will already have stamina, flexibility and coordination. I also do tap (modern too) and it is great fun and a good contrast to ballet and taking the two together would be good. Sorry it is a lot of info lol, but i hope this helps you. I say go for it :D
