[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter was born in 2005 and the Mormon bloggers were numerous, prolific and well known. Beautiful photography, gorgeous children and thoughtful writing, it was all very curated, albeit in blog form. This just feels like an amped up version, consistent now with the tenor of Instagram. It's all less real. But the seeds have certainly been there for years.  just significantly more over the top. Thank you for the pp who noted her julliard training was basically a dance intensive over the summer. I mean really...as a mother of a college daughter who dances, this is not the same as being " julliard trained." The whole situation is unreal.[/quote]

She graduated from Juilliard with a BFA in dance in 2012.  She went for a summer intensive, fell in love with it, and went back for college.

A BFA from Juilliard qualifies someone to be described as "Juilliard trained".  [/quote]

I stand corrected. But the reality is that she did little professionally with that BFA  so not surprisingly she holds on to that credential as a part of her identity  but that part of her life is in the past. It was a road not taken. And unlike her peers who pursued it, who had the courage probably to do so...she did not.  It's  a way to perhaps stay connected to that part of her....but she seems deeply conflicted about having had to let it go. Let's be honest. Otherwise it would not continue to be quoted as a part of her life over and over again. I find it sad. Some of us have been around long enough to see through when people do this. [/quote]

It's a huge feat for a girl from Springville, Utah (a small town outside Provo, very conservative), homeschooled with her 8 siblings, to get into Julliard.  It's not a path people in her orbit were taking.  [b]It was painful to read her comments about ballet and what it meant to her to give it up.[/b]  She names her social media the Ballerina Farmer.  [/quote]

Oh please. That was her choice. She also got pregnant while at Julliard so she never had a career after that. [/quote]
