Demoted!

Not SB, but a girl she knows. This girl is the same age as SB and last year danced in one of the same classes, but SB moved up this year and this girl did not. She auditioned for Snow Queen though and was cast in the same role as SB, a Maiden. I was sort of surprised by that, as the Maiden role is usually very good dancers. Well, today at rehearsal the girl did not do well at all. Could not keep up with the choreography. They actually pulled her out of the rehearsal and spoke to her and then gave her a different, less dance intensive part. SB was not entirely sure what role she was given as she left crying, but she did have a rehearsal schedule in her hand, so we know she's still in the show.

I find the whole thing kind of sad. I know you want to have a good show. And there are only 6 of the Maidens per show and they are on stage alone for a minute, so you want girls who can dance, but they cast her in that role, whether by mistake or not. And to pull her during a rehearsal seems a little cruel. Just my opinion.
