Subject: I really want to add this to the discussion. I've got 2 female dancers and one male. This was his first time dancing solo at the O. He's U16 and didn't start until he was 11. He didn't recall of course, but met his goals. He also met all the top tier male dancers in his age group in our region (he only knew 3 of them since he's only in PC). He was so happy that all of them were nice guys and welcomed him. Not one was stuck up. My daughters have a mixed bag in their comps. Plenty of nice ones, but plenty of prima donnas too. Just thought I'd add a thanks to all the parents of those boys for raising them right.
In reply to: MW Mom 's message, "There's a nasty posting on the MW Board about the boys having it easy for worlds qualifications. Such a bummer. I really think the boys in my ds' competition are fabulous and competition is fierce. Zero margin for error in a small competition. Glad to have found this board!" on 09:31:24 12/02/08 Tue

[> [> We had the same experience. My son also is U16. When we moved to the Midwest region the other boys his age were very welcoming. They have become great friends even while competing. It all stays on the stage, and I think their camaraderie - even at the major competitions - sets such a great example of sportsmanship. -- Geoff, 19:15:13 12/04/08 Thu [1]
