Mom-If your an old timer, you can skip this. If your a new mom I advise you read on. At the start of the dance year you may feel overwhelmed; all the classes, dress code, nutcracker, how on earth are you gonna curl you daughters hair for "Party Child". These tips should help:
1. Don't buy a $30 leotard. Discount dance and othe online companies are great for cheaper leotards. Make sure you read the reviews for each product. (http://www.discountdance.com)
2. Don't let you child dance on an empty stomach. A sanwich, granola bar, fruit, cheese and crackers=good. French fries, cookies, candy=bad.
3. Do allow your child to miss class if they are sick (most schools will want them to attend rehearsl-even just to watch).
4. Don't be a stranger. Call the studio with any questions, ask your child for any handouts. Ask you child what they learned in class.
5. Do learn how to make a good ballet bun. (http://justanotherdancingteen.blogspot.com/2009/05/ballet-buns.html)
6. If your daughter's hair needs to be curled see link. I will try to put up a video tutorial as soon as I can.
