Welcome to the Dance Spectrum. When it seems that dance is taking up too much time or costing too much money, I ask you to realize that dance gives your child much more than another costume or another trophy. The kids who dance are off the street and focused on an art form that can only make them better people. Usually they are very smart kids who understand what hard work and determination are all about. Through dance they learn skills that will get them into a good college or land that job that will make you burst with pride. But, most important, they are not the kids that we hear about on the news doing things that shock us to the core. I say "congratulations" on being able to give these opportunities to your child!
