Posted on 02/18/2014 3:03:34 PM PST by OneVike



Forgive an old man for wanting to show off my granddaughter. My daughter sent me a link to a video she took of Grace auditioning. She is 11, and she is auditioning for the Summer Intensive 2014. Follow the link below, and please make a grandfather proud and leave a sweet comment for her Mom to read to her. My Daughters name is Tanya

What do you mean by en pointe?

Q: How old were you when you got your first pair of pointe shoes?

A: I was nine years old when I got my first pair of pointe shoes, which is extremely young. I was in a dance class with girls that were a year or two older than me but it was still pretty young to be dancing en pointe.

Thanks. I think I really need to learn the lingo since it looks like Grace may be doing this a lot longer than I originally thought.

I remember thinking it was just a phase she was going through like boys do in sports, but she seems to really serious, and that is something you don’t know until they have been doing for awhile. Well, she is 11, so I thinks it’s a serious thing with her.

Must excellent my friend :)

What a doll!

Of course neither you nor I were ever that age.

We were born old and crotchety ;)

Oh, Now I got it. Grace has been going to dance classes since she was 5 or 6 I believe. I used to think her mom was more into it, but I soon realized that both Grace and her little sister Hope were real excited about it.

Her younger sister Hope 9 is years old

Ballet is very hard on the body. Starting too young may not be a good thing.

Well, you see she was scheduled 1.5 hrs/wk pointe work, there’s a reason for that. Make sure you ask her about that, you’ll get an earful :_)

Good for her!! Mine is now dancing in college on scholarship but happiest when she is home during the summer dancing with her school and company she grew up with. Tell your granddaughter to keep up the good work

I really feel like she will.

Time will tell, but from what my daughter says she plans on doing it for a career.

from what I understand she is doing more than just ballet. She is doing other forms also. You can check out some of the other video her mother has uploaded to see if you like. This is her doing an improv I guess.
