Tonight we went to the open house for accepted students. Daya is so excited.
I'm glad she will be there, and I'm glad she is in a small department. (Dance is the second smallest after theater tech.)
Since the dance students don't perform at all until Junior/Senior year, they aren't in competition with each other. I like that.
I heard from staff and other students that the dance kids tend to stick together, and I like that, too. LaG is a big school, and I'm glad Daya will have a small home inside such a large place.
She will have academic classes with kids from the other studios, which is also good. But the dance kids are together in class for all 4 years- 3 hours a day 5 days a week- and they are expected to be a family. I hope it is really like that. The dance students do seem to be pretty happy. The demo class they gave was lovely.
As usual I spent too much time wandering around in the art rooms and art gallery. Daya gets cross with me for being too interested in the art department. But I can't help it. There are paintings ALL OVER the school, which I think is just wonderful. There is some wonderful work, too. And I love that they have the art kids doing full-out oil painting.

I am so very, very proud of Daya!!
As well you should be proud of your baby girl. She is growing up so fast and has some great opportunities. Go Daya...
