kyonna, look on the Wild website and check the ages for the different rooms in the convention. I know that at JUMP last year they had JUMPstarts for the 6 & under kids and since it was a required convention our studio had some kids in that room.
We'll be going again this year, and we have more little bittys so I don't think it would be too much for your DD.
I kinda like your gung ho attitude. When my DD was a mini mini we had parents who didn't have a clue what it meant to be on a comp team. You seem to be doing your homework so good for you! |

This is the first year we have Minis at our studio (officially) and conventions aren't required this year, but are recommended. We took 2 7-yo Minis to Shock! last week, and they *loved* it! The room was 5-10 year olds, but everyone seemed to be working hard and having a lot of fun. There were definately younger girls in the room - a bunch that looked 5-6 - and they were having a ball. It was 5 classes over 4.25 hours - the Juniors and up had 8 classes ending around 4-5pm. It was a great experience for the girls, who got to experience new instructors in a different class setting (they didn't seem to have any problems being in a room with ~100 girls), and my daughter finally got her pirouette which she needs for her solo, so it was well worth it!
Our minis are 6-8, but will be in the Mini Starz! room at West Coast Dance Explosion in January. It sounds like 5-6 of the girls will be there, which is about 1/2 the team. Some of them are old enough for the Junior room, but our SO says it's tough, and I think the girls would rather stick together anyway. They're young - they've got plenty of time to move up and get serious. This year is about figuring things out and having fun - for her and for me! (I'm so glad I found this site!) |
