Thank you for posting a note from your son's male dance teacher. My son is only 8 but has been in the dance studio since infancy watching his sisters and by 4 was begging for it to be his turn to dance. He is now hitting the teasing on the playground stage. I'm glad to know it passes. I’m new to the blog…. having found it by accident. Thank you for posting a note from your son’s male dance teacher.

Expect a bit of discomfort at first and a possibly some chaffing. Before you know it, he'll be wearing a dance belt like a second skin. My son doesn't even notice them any more, although he does still like to get them off as soon as possible. My pleasure! Expect a bit of discomfort at first and a possibly some chaffing.

Thanks for this info! My son is a dancer and I've been dreading the day when this topic had to be covered! He has several parts in our production of the Nutcracker and will need his first dance belt. This should help! Hi! Thanks for this info! My son is a dancer and I’ve been dreading the day when this topic had to be covered!

I'm really touched. I hope someday, when Sky is a little older, we can put together a scholarship of our own. I think it is so terribly important to keep feeding the passions of our children.

I don't know of any scholarships or grants offhand. Maybe we'll get a response from someone, though. Keep checking back! Good luck...I know it's a tough position. Kim,

My 12 year old daughter, Sky Van Vliet, has been dancing since she was 2 1/2 years old. She has been dancing at M.A. Dance Project of Cedar Park, Texas for almost 6 years. She currently takes ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, hip hop, modern, contemporary, musical theatre, turns and progressions, ballroom and a choreo class for her dance company. She is a 5th year member of the IMPACT Dance Co. in Cedar Park Texas. She would normally be taking a tumbling class as well, but to her dissappointment we can not afford to enroll her this year. My husband and I have fallen on hard times financially. And while Sky's studio has been very understanding, we have fallen far behind in dance company fees and tuition. And I just don't know how we will be able to manage to keep her doing the thing she is so passionate about. On the bright side we can pay in February when we get our tax return but I do not feel that they are willing to wait. Sky will be broken hearted to be kicked off of the dance company she has been with since she was 7 years old. Please inform me of any scholarship programs that you may be aware of. We would even return the favor to someone else in need in the future. Thanks. Kim Osgood-Van Vliet Hello ~

I look forward to your book being published. I have taught many boys yet had little communication from them, or parents, during the grueling process of professional training. Really enjoy this blog!
