<p>I would like to add, as both a mom of a D auditioning this season and a studio owner, remind your kids that they are already enough… they have been created with their unique set of gifts and talents. We have 10 students at our studio that are in the “audition pool” this year alone and we have watched each year the stress and strain that the kids and parents go through and every year the kids end up in the right program. There are a few here and there who choose to take a GAP year after the first go 'round and all have done even better the next year. One of our teachers always tells the kids to remember that nerves are just the body’s way of telling you that you have something to say…I agree. All of these kids are my heroes because I could never do what they do. It is nice to see all the supportive parents here, and I encourage all our students parents to come on and take a few minutes to read and see that they are not alone in what they are experiencing and what they are feeling.</p>
