[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's been a few years since our youngest did this, but it was a great experience overall for our child. PPs are right that it's a big commitment for both your child and your family, and don't plan on traveling for winter break (shows continue until after Xmas) until you have your child's schedule in hand.

There's a lot of controversy over who gets the "best" roles at the younger ages. Clearly there is some merit involved when the kids are older, but at the youngest ages, the party girl roles magically seemed to go to the big donors. You'll know what I mean when you see the program. Doesn't mean it's not a worthwhile experience anyway, but people grumble about it A LOT. Maybe it's improved in the past few years?

A PP here. This is what I was afraid of. My DD is in 1A bc of age but has been dancing at another competitive studio since she was little. She's a very good dancer, but now I'm thinking no one there knows it and we aren't donors. So she will
Prob end up a snow angel. And we will decide whether it's worth it for her to commit the time to a role that doesn't even dance. [/quote]
