We’ve gotten some of the responses back from all those auditions.  Mostly positive but one declined her. She was offered at scholarship at one at one school.  It’s strange you never can quite figure out what they are looking for.  When you get the response letters it’s sort of like you applied for college.  The big envelopes are really good and the little envelopes are really sad.  Well, then there are the LITTLE, but THICK envelopes that can go either way.   She got one those—those LITTLE, THICK ones from Joffrey Ballet School.  She thought about it’s “LITTLE and THICK” quality out loud while she examined it for more hints before she opened it.  She really never dreamed she be accepted there. It wasn’t even on her radar.   If you think of real professional quality there’s Juilliard and there’s Joffrey—they are the ones. I’m sure somebody’s going to disagree with that but please, let me have my moment here J Anyway, just when you think God can’t do any better there He goes again!  She’s in!  She was selected for their highest level. That really blew her away!  She’ll be there for 8 weeks from the middle of June until the middle of August.  They don’t offer housing at Joffrey-- you are on your own--so it’s a little scary.  I’m hoping all of you New Yorker’s are going to help us find our way and tell us all the in and outs.    I’m originally from upstate New York but I’ve been told many times and know it’s true -that’s just not the same.  Calling all New Yorkers from the city……Tell me ALL I need to know pleaseJ  Blessings,
