[quote=Anonymous]Just to echo some of the previous posters, a dance troupe is a team. They all work together alongside the teacher to prepare for the recital. Not every team has a cadre of David Beckhams or Derek Jeters and not every dance troupe can have a ton of prima ballerinas. So what if she is a little clumsy or doesn't have the musicality. She is having a good time and learning a whole host of other skills: the discipline of working towards a goal, how to be part of a team, performance skills, etc. And as part of the process you want to penalize her? Please think twice, stop worrying about what the other girls or moms are thinking and just let her have this experience. Living a life being great at everything we do just isn't realistic and the truth is, we learn more from our failures/shortcomings than we do our successes. Good luck and do keep us posted. The smile on her face after the performance will be so worth your decision to maintain a 'show-must-go-on' mentality. [/quote]
