<p>Some kids do seem to be naturals or can translate quickly other skills to the dance world. But for a totally untrained girl who is not a gymnast or figure skater or in any other way highly athletically skilled I’m having a hard time believing 4 years of dance in college would be even close to enough to make them competitive. I’m sure it helps in other areas but I’m wondering if it can really get you through a professional dance call. I’m thinking no. </p>
<p>Boys really do have it easier in this field in every way. Our local community theater has advertised that all boys auditioning will be cast.</p>
