As I watch my beautiful daughter grown up, sometimes it hurts, sometimes it is exciting, scary, confusing and just plain wonderful. I remember when she first started at Dance Unlimited, she was unsure, unsteady and not very limber. Now I watch her on stage and every time she gets up to perform, I am watching a new dancer I have never seen before. She has thinned out, grown tall, gained movement, technique and facial expression that amazes me. This week Jay mentioned that sometimes he's not always sure about Miss Gina. I told him to get over it because she is passionate about what she does, sometimes she may come across mean, or impatient. One thing she said a couple weeks ago at auditions, yes, just because you dance at her studio doesn't automatically place you in all the dances, some of the kids had to audition 3-4 times just to find a spot, she said...."I AM NOT PREPARING YOU FOR RECITALS! I AM PREPARING YOU TO AUDITION TO DANCE!" and she does, she is hard, and always tough but she is very serious about what she does. I have heard her tell student's and/or parents not to come back for disrupting class or not showing up, or talking back and not following direction. If you go to other recitals, you see the difference, the technique is sloppy, the dancers look confused and mess up the whole routine which in turn messes up the other dancers along side them and it is painful to watch. To know Gina is to love her, you may not always agree with the way she runs things but I feel blessed that Stevi is in the studio. It will toughen her up because as you know, auditions whether it is for dance, schools, interviews or just plain life is tough. I have seen Stevi grow tremendously over the last 3 years, I think I do owe alot of the to Miss Gina as well. She is helping me in many ways to develop my beautiful young daughter into a strong, poised and confident young woman. Thank you Miss Gina. Despite some of your strict hard rules, I understand why you are the way you are and I truly value you in our lives. We love you and you are stuck with us!

Stevi's Dance Recital.........
