Selective programmes

Every route runs backwards from a date.

Give a child’s age and a destination. The map shows the rungs between the two — what is still ahead, what has already gone, and where the preparation exists.

This map is a suggestion, not a schedule. It shows one sensible way to build practice and proficiency toward a destination — every child prepares differently, and reaching a rung is never a guarantee of a place.

1 of 8 rungs are already behind. None of them sat on the main line, so nothing load-bearing has been lost. What remains is a compressed route, and it is shown in full below.

Of the 7 rungs still ahead, Troupe prepares 2.
