I know it doesn't really "mean" anything, but DD is so happy to be in Ruby!

Yes I think the best is ruby and the worst are emerald pearl. They say there is no difference but Julie’s daughter danced Ruby every single time and that is always the opening night cast.
Why do you say Emerald and Pearl are the worst?
Oh none of them are the worst, they will all be great, the kids all have a blast dancing with a professional company!

Kind of ridiculous though, no? This is a professional ballet company. Every single show should be the best they can possibly produce and the only way to do that it to have a mix of the top dancers in every cast.

The official stance is that they're random, but they're not. However, it ultimately doesn't matter, the kids have fun no matter what and it shouldn't be made a big deal to them.
