Thanks for all of the great ideas and I would appreciate hearing more when your kids return home. My D will be PMing for some info too. Right now, she is pretty pleased, as the youngest out of 78 kids, she landed the part of “Lambchops” in “Fame” in the summer production she was particpating in. Although she blew everyone away in the auditions (especially the vocal) it is a very “typy” show and she, at 5’6" and 14 was either too tall to fit with the “opposite” player or too young! Her voice lessons start up again in two weeks- I just wish that it was possible to find a really good MT dance class around here; there are a lot of them that offer the “tricks” without much technique(the girls look OK in high school, but when they go to coolege auditions, they are really outclassed) and we certainly don’t want to go the “recital-based” dance school route , which seems to encompass most of them here.Her “regular” instructor is down at French Woods for the summer and it looks like he will be taking a permanant job out of state, so we need to look.We have an exellent ballet studio which feeds the best national companies, but they don’t offer anything for my D at her stage…
