[quote=Anonymous]I am a dance teacher and have dealt with this many times. I see two personalities in children. Think of it like teaching a kid to swim. Some kids you can just throw in the water and they will figure it out. Some you will throw in the water and they will flail, cry, and never swim again. You probably know your daughter's personality enough to know how she will do. I personally try to throw most kids on stage. The lights are bright so they can't see the crowd, their teacher will be sitting down in the pit for them to watch, and at her age, once she's on stage she most likely will get it together. I worked at a studio once where the studio owner sprinkled "fairy dust" (glitter) on the kids, gave them a kiss, and sent them out. It gave a lot of the younger ones that extra boost of confidence. You may try something like that.[/quote]
