She made it!
Emily didn't want me to say anything to anyone until we knew the results.......2 weeks ago she went down and auditioned for the Cincinnati Ballet's production of the Nutcracker! We got a packet in the mail this afternoon letting us know the results....
Miss Emily will be a soldier with sword!
We think it is such a huge honor that she will get to dance in a professional ballet production and be on stage with professional ballet dancers. We see it as a reaffirmation of our belief that she is a very talented dancer. Not only was she cast, but she was cast in a role that is usually reserved for girls 13 and up! The only downside is that another girl from our dance studio (who isn't very kind) is also in the production......well at least she can no longer claim to be the better dancer!
I had to laugh at some of the info in the packet they sent us. One of the funniest things was a comment that per union regulations, parents are not allowed to touch the costumes! As a mom who has spent hours sewing costumes for competition teams, I find this so ironic! I told Emily I guess I won't be able to hug her before she goes on stage! Not like they let parents backstage at a professional ballet performance!
The parent meeting is Friday, October 7 at 7:45 PM. I will have more details then!
I am just BURSTING with pride!

Oh, I am just bursting with pride for her!!! I can't wait to tell the girls, but should I let Emily tell them?
We are so tickled for her! The girls are very proud and impressed.
I can't wait to see her in her costume and see her on stage. Seems like not that long ago I was taking her to her very first ballet class!
That is too cool! Tell Miss Emily congrats from the Malotts!
I went to school with a girl who had a similar honor w/the NYC ballet, cast as a soldier in the Nutcracker. She got to be in the production w/Mikhail Baryshnikov! We had the same ballet teacher, so that's...what...two degrees of separation, right?
Valerie....definitely 2 degrees...kind of like me...Father Ben..and Pope John Paul II....but he got to hold the staff (for some reason I almost typed septor there!)..did she get to touch Mikhail? So did the girl you went to school with continue with dancing?
