I would guess that any dance director they hire is going to use dancers from the school they are affiliated with. YOu would certainly hope that was the case if someone affiliated with YOUR school got that job.

The dancers who performed are lovely high level dancers. Things change and develope with new directors and performers over time. You can prefer one over the other, but think before you write rude comments about youth performers on a anonymous board.
