Why do you watch?

[JRH51941]

When you do a live recording you have to take what ever comes

[angelsdescend]

i think she is awsome dancer

but shes too young she is going to be crippled by the time shes 30 and i think all the dancing just takes away from the original story

i still think its a good preformence

but yeah i hate how parents push things and the teachers just want to look good theyll say watever they need to say but in their minds they no wat they are doing to those poor children

[JRH51941]

The instructor is no ordinary dance instructor. She has been there. She is the one who determines when and if the student is ready, not the parents.

12 years old and en pointe? Stupidity reigns in this world, I swear. Too young, no matter how long she's been taking ballet! IT'S BAD FOR THEIR LEGS AND FEET, PEOPLE!

[JRH51941]

The instructor knows what she is doing. She has pricipals with NY Ballet and others in the US.Students that just graduated from Huston Ballet School and North Carolina School of the Arts. Her credential are excepional

Excellent performance, it reduced me to tears.

Great performance. My daughter Blair performed the same part twice. The first time was 14 years ago in the very same costume made by her mother Shirle. It brings back wonderful memories.Enjoy them while they are young. They grow so fast.

[Chrisspy704]

What kinds of problems do ballet dancers get??? I never knew kid dancers could get any, for me it was quit the contrary.
