All this to say, Connor shall be doing her first workforce exercise this yr. She’ll be becoming a member of the junior aggressive dance workforce at her studio this yr. They’ve a program known as the “prep” workforce the place youthful youngsters like her can get a way of what it’s like; the prep workforce will get the expertise of weekly rehearsal and the prospect to carry out at neighborhood occasions, however the schedule’s not as intense. If she likes it, she’ll have the choice to go all in subsequent yr. We’ll see the way it goes!
Anywho. I’m off to go write some stuff (so many deadlines this month). Have a fantastic Tuesday, OK?
