<p>Thank you, soozievt! You are always so helpful! I have read most of the threads for Tisch-MT but not really many of the general MT threads, thanks for the suggestion!</p>
<p>Yes, I have had a similar acting-experience-training type of situation as your daughter did. I’ve picked up most of my acting through shows that I have done, and some acting courses done through any MT camp I’ve been in! My town also has a dearth of private acting teachers 
but I’m not going to give up the search!!!</p>
<p>As for “I’m Not Afraid of Anything,” I re-read my origional post about that and realized that I wrote it really confusing-ly-ish (not a word, I know lol) :). Haha, I didn’t mean that I was going to sing the song for auditions or competitions (it’s far tooo longgg!!!); I was just giving an example of a song that I’m working on… I may sing it for my teacher’s annual student recital or something… I totally agree with you about JRB songs getting overdone, I swear that so people in my audition-prep class have sung “Christmas Lullaby” at one point or another. That, and “Home” from Beauty and the Beast… I’m really trying to look for some good off-broadway shows to search for an amazing song that hasn’t yet been overdone (a rare find, I’m sure!)</p>
<p>Thank you so much for the clarification on the height issue!! I don’t know, but I’ve always been afraid that it would hurt me in some way. I totally understand and can agree with what your daughter means by knowing that she just isn’t a chorus-girl type; I tend to feel that same way!</p>
<p>To anyone that can answer this: If I take up dance this year, will it look mediocre to have only 3-ish years of dance (I’m thinking ballet, tap, jazz) under my belt, and should I not even bother? I don’t want to seem as though I decided to take dance last minute to have it look good on college apps, because those aren’t my intentions at all. I want to take dance because, well… I want to dance! It has been a part of my life before, and I consider it a valuable, beautiful, and emotionally expressive art. So, what do you think… should I go for it??</p>
<p>Thanks!,
Meg</p>
