[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]

I don’t think my daughter is jealous but it is obvious. My daughter wants to play Clara when she’s older and mentioned that it would be harder to get the part because Julie’s daughter will automatically get the role.  No resentment from her she was just stating a fact. It isn’t just Nutcracker, she is chosen for every kids role. In 2020 they chose a few kids to be interviewed by the Washington Post.  They chose one older, one middle, one young.  Guess who they chose for the young one.  It is absolutely nepotism.

That said I don’t think I’ve seen it with anyone else.  [/quote]

+1 !

My daughter isn't jealous of her at all, she likes her a lot. There's a lot to like about her! But she's made similar comments, never faulting Julie's daughter, but she does blame the adults making the decisions. [/quote]
