[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's how it was at the studio my DD was at before moving to TWSB. So I think she was surprised to find that it's less inclusive here in giving other dancers a chance at the role. She's asked about going back just for the opportunity to play Party Girl or Clara, which is also a role given to 13/14 year old, but I've said only if she's willing to give up TWSB for good. But DD is still holding out hope, even though I believe she's too old/tall now for the role. [/quote]

My daughter was a snow angel for two years in a row with the Washington Ballet Nutcracker production. Not what she was hoping for but we emphasized how it was great that she was getting to participate. She is definitely one of those who is holding out hope to be a party girl someday. I think that is one of the things that motivates her to continue at TWSB. We don’t love ballet as the main activity for our DD but as long as she advances to the next level at the school and is having fun, we won’t say no to her continuing year after year. I do wish that the school would consider assigning the roles to give the kids a chance to be something that they were not previously. Nutcracker is a huge time commitment for the families who do it and having a new role does give the kids a boost.  [/quote]
