[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's fair to call Julie's daughter rigging. She's the child of a professional ballerina and been around world class performances her entire life. I don't doubt she came into the school with a stronger baseline than the average child and it's also not fair to ask her, who is also just a child, to be a Snow Angel just so the other parents arent jealous of her. I don't think any of the kids see her that way, my daughter certainly doesn't. [/quote]

Yes, just like how Tori Spelling made a fine Donna Martin. Everything you say is valid, and I don’t disagree. I have never had a firsthand issue with casting. Ever. But from an optics standpoint, it has a whiff of nepotism. Just saying. [/quote]

Definitely. Party girl for 3 years in a row and a whole thread of dancers dying for a chance at the role. [/quote]

As someone from a different school, I find that interesting.  It's rare at our school for a dancer to do the same role two years in a row.  Three years is unheard of.  At ours, party girl is role you might take on in your second year of performing (after starting off as an angel or soldier).  I don't know anyone who did party girl two years in a row, unless you became Marie.  There are other roles with more advanced choreography, and usually you'd be expected to go for those roles after party girl.  You'd also probably be too tall to be party girl by that point.
