| Hi to my Elon mom friends above (and my son is great friends with both daughters, also!). Ironic how I knew you ladies from CC before our kids knew each other!
Showmom points out how close the kids are to one another. My son was so anxious to get back there to see all his friends this fall, even after a wonderful summer of making many new friends and doing some fabulous summerstock work! It's really great to see the relationships they build at Elon and how much they do support and cheer for each other in their various successes. Nydancemom mentioned the "family" - yes, I think very true.
FYI - both of the above girls went into Elon already very advanced talented dancers, among other skills. I wanted to point out that not everyone goes in as advanced dancers and not everyone becomes advanced, although all take dance. Elon's requirements are flexible enough to allow one to take various classes within the major, concentrating on one or another area as much as they want. The above girls and my son have elected to take more than the required dance classes. Others might take more acting or music. My son went into Elon as an intermediate dancer at best, but he has improved tremendously in his time there. He has also grown in acting and voice skills and has enjoyed getting back into piano, among other academic subjects. The flexibility in scheduling at Elon is one of the really neat things about the program! |
