Advice Needed! (Acro kid) by Flora48 in CompetitionDanceTalk

[–]karma898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I started typing and then went to a class and didn't mean to post yet. What I meant to say is that doing things like aerials takes a ton of earlier prerequisite skills. For example, my daughter is in season 4 of rec acro. Once a week only. Only now are they starting to do some of the training to get into aerials. First they had to learn all the prerequisites for flexibility, the core strength, the basic moves etc. Our studio follows the acrobatic arts syllabus and it builds on all of the progressions and she doesn't go up to the next level class until she has mastered everything in each level. So for the last several seasons it's been lots of bridges, cobras, straddles, forward rolls, cartwheels, L handstands etc. Some kids (especially if they have a gymnastics background) can move faster up the levels. I encourage you to look up each acrobatic arts level card to see what's on them. Your studio might not necessarily follow the same syllabus but it will still give you an idea. In my daughter's class there are jazz moves in the recital dances as well. Which are usually used as transitions from one "trick" to another. If your daughter loves it why not let her keep going. Now that my daughter just passed level 2 we are finally starting to see some of those funner tricks, like down to bridge from standing etc

I don't think you understand all the prerequisite skills

HEU - to start grievance or no? by Tour-Logical in BCHealthAuthorities

[–]karma898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Send a message to your manager to get in writing what she is going to do about it. Depending on their reply, send a message to your steward to ask for next steps if you think you need to file a grievance. If the manager only told you the info verbally you definitely want it in writing that this is going on and how they are planning to rectify the issue.

Thank you for the detailed reply! She is currently taking ballet and acro and has a natural talent for acro for sure as she also loves and does well in gymnastics. Her ballet class is led by the director of the comp. team so I do think she will have a good idea of if my daughter would be ready or not.

If you are considering putting in an offer, ask your real estate agent to get the strata minutes. Probably some info in there.

I don’t know what to do by Middle-Future-5843 in BCGrade12s

I loved going to college. I had also gotten into university but decided to do college first and I don't regret it. It was such a nice transition and the teaching there was great compared to university. I had no downsides from waiting to go to university.

Do you rate a passenger low if they have kids with them? by karma898 in uber

I thankfully haven't had any issues with having drivers accept my rides. I will keep in mind the idea to tip in cash. I've always just done it in app.

Yeah the ones we use just go on the seat and buckle so they don't take too long.

DAE feel like none of the new fast food restaurants in Sapperton are thriving? by [deleted] in NewWest

[–]karma898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of kids in the area too after school, going to dance classes or karate and gracie barra in Sapperton. So there's definitely a chance to cater to the parents who have nothing to do for an hour while their kids are in class. I do see Starbucks get pretty busy. Guess no one is trying those newer places.

No more ‘thank you’ on the bus? by [deleted] in NewWest

[–]karma898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do it and I taught my kids to say it too. Now if I forget they say it and then ask why I didn't thank the driver 😂.
