Getting Ready

a post from Thecla

Shyane arrived at our offices yesterday afternoon for her fittings. Each student attending our Summer Intensive is provided with all of the necessary dance clothes and shoes for the program. Her mother, brother and 2 sisters were with her. It was like a field trip. To see the looks on Shyane's face and to hear her family's reactions each time she tried on a new pair of ballet shoes or tap shoes was priceless!

Something as simple as a new pair of shoes, tights or a chiffon skirt for ballet class made her feel so special. Its just a uniform to most of us but for her it was much more...
