I hope she gets the part.

 

[kcoursolle]

I''ll cross my fingers for her!

oooh.. what part did she try out for?! My neice was in the nutcracker last year, but she was something silly like a flowerpot.. Thats right.. a flowerpot.. Those don''t move.. She was on stage for like 2 minutes where she basically waved her arms around and stood up and twirled around once or twice..

 

[MelissaSue]

Also.. my other neice, who was about 18 months at the time was supposed to be a baby bon-bon but got kicked out for bad behavior.

Hope she gets a chance to participate!

Sounds like fun!!!

Keep us posted!

The NUtcracker here is a HUGE hoopla... many people from the nearby cities come to watch it. It is even performed on the UNiversity's theatre. You have to be at least 8 to try out and dancing for at least 3 -4 years. YOu have to have had both ballet and either jazz or tap. You are given a set of routines and ou have to learn them independantly for 20 minutes, then you are asked to perform them in front of a panel of "judges"... it is really a hard audition. She is competing for a part against many dancers who are older than her by 3 years.

As for the part.. she did not specify, in hopes that if they find a perfect character for her than she will be cast...

Yug.. I have butterflies in my stomach.. 2 hours until they post call-backs...

Thank you everyone for your "finger crossing" I told her all about it... She said... "REALLY, people from all over the world hope I get the part... WOW.. that's huge!!!"
