For your daughter, Michele, dance is but one door in her life.

Dance will teach her lots...precision, creativity, tolerance, exactitude, and she may decide ten years from now that it's not for her.

By then she will be the ripe old age of 29 when who knows, she may be a fabulous mature student, at university, who knows exactly where she's going.

Or she may already have passed through a door you know nothing about.

But there again...she may well be a sought-after dancer.

From all I have read about your girls, they are pretty good kids. That doesn't happen by happenstance.

Trust, Michele.

If she doesn't follow through, all that means is she's had better idea.
