[quote=Anonymous]Parent of long time dancer and many years of observing party kids at several schools in the DC area. Party scene children are usually 1 or a combo of the following, in no particular order: decent technique for the age, relatively hard worker/listens/follows direction, child of major donor or well-known parent, a minority as showing diversity in dance is seen as important and party kids is a way to do this more so than other dances/parts which may be shorter in length. Also, depending on the age range of party kids, different body types are often represented, even to include heavier kids. DK danced at Wash Ballet among others, but I don't remember if this was the case or not given the older age of the party kids there but at other schools this is often seen. Party kid and Clara are seen as the "choice roles" by the students - Clara for obvious reasons and party kids often for the costumes which appeal to young dancers.[/quote]
