Title: Lord, help me!
Post by: Flame on January 21, 2008, 05:34:14 PM
My daughter is auditioning in Feb for a summer dance intensive in NY.  It's a 2, 3 or 6 week course.  Did I mention it is in NY? With the American Academy of Ballet?  And that is is about 1,000.00 bucks a week?


Oiy.  Not sure where the money would come from to send her, but I'd hate to deny her the opportunity.

Is there a "just shoot me now" smilie???

Wow!  What a fantastic opportunity for her!
Best of luck to her.

Summer is a ways away. 
All kinds of things you can do to raise funds! 
Where there's a will, there's a way!

Congrats! Can she qualify for any type of scholarship money towards this program? What about a fundraiser between now and then?

Agree with everyone else,Schade. Get her local dance club involved...perhaps they'd be willing to sponsor her or do a fundraiser for part of the funds. (your just 10 dollars away...sorry, couldn't resist :uhsure:) Seriously, though...I hope it works out. Your daughter sounds very talented the many times you've posted about her dancing.
