Faubourg 2013: Day 16! Last Update from Faubourg for 2013...Too tired the other days!

Completely floored at what my 9-year old said today to her 8-year old sister. "Just because I can do the step does not mean that I have the technique to do it. My leg might not be completely turned out or my feet properly stretch. Ballet is more than JUST doing a step. It is about the technique behind it. That is why we have to trust our teachers to move us to the next level when we are ready." Oh.My.Gosh! You do not know how mature that statement was. Now if we could just teach the parents that life for these kids would be easier.
