Indeed, the whole ballet thing was something we just sort of stumbled into, but what a huge impact it ended up having on our lives! All in a good way for sure -- it truly provided a lot of focus for my kids as they grew, what with daily class, constant rehearsals for shows, performances and so forth. They learned so much and gained so much in experience! But it also kept us on the go-fo-GO for years, plus sometimes my kids did miss out on other things of interest because the ballet was so demanding of their time. Looking back I think it was all worth it though. <br /><br />I also can't help but worry (always a mom here ;-)) a bit about my son, living on his own already -- he's a good kid, but it's so far away from us. Plus I find myself frettng over his future at times. Not the easiest thing having a child in the Arts, because I ask you... could the economy possibly be any more sucky right now...? I mean really! Here he is, at The Age and right on the brink of jump-starting a professional career, just when dance companies are experiencing all kinds of cut-backs and slow downs and so forth, oy... And yet he's pretty determined, and so we are hopeful. At least we know he is doing what he really loves...!<br /><br />In any case, thanks again Everyone,for all the lovely comments, and for sharing your ballet/dance tidbits. And here's to the Arts, of ALL disciplines...! :-)Patiencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762943370256912680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2609222692340777108.post-49270893308061560122012-02-11T13:53:45.868-08:002012-02-11T13:53:45.868-08:00Stunning portrait!

They are in college now, though, and they don't take dance classes any more. :/ilovecuttableshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15424165226709491953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2609222692340777108.post-6928135577021031902012-02-11T10:46:05.748-08:002012-02-11T10:46:05.748-08:00Very interesting post, I didn't know your son...Very interesting post, I didn't know your son was a dancer.
