Again, I think the older kids get the more they either step it up or speak up and opt out. I see a lot of “mini Moms” forcing their kiddos to do solos…and totally agree that if it’s not stage ready it should not be on the stage, experience or no.

I agree with this sentiment, but also think it’s super important for some kids to have the opportunity to develop the skills learned in a solo. I’ve worked with dancers who absolutely blossom after they have the opportunity to try, even if they weren’t one of “the best” within the studio! 🖤
