After several years at Taylor Dance Center in McKinney, we decided to switch dance studios.  Millie had proven that she was in this for the long haul (even if that just means dancing till she's 7) and was quite passionate about dance, and I wanted to find a studio that was filled with warm and positive energy, great leadership, age appropriate dances and costumes, an outstanding track record, exemplary teachers and instruction methods, and the apple of a young dancer's eye---a professional production of The Nutcracker.  After months of research, I found the best studio north of Dallas, and quite possibly the best one in the Dallas area---Academy of Dance Arts.

Many of the studio's dancers go on to perform in professional ballet companies, on Broadway, and some have even made it to Hollywood.  Don't get me wrong.  While I'm impressed by this, I am in NO WAY a stage mom.  Not even CLOSE.  I honestly don't care if Millie dances at all when she is older, but as long as she is passionate about it, I want her to learn from the best.  And learn, she has!  She learned more in 3 months at ADA than she had in 3 years at her old studio.  Not only that, she has made two amazing friends (Alex and Camryn) whose moms (Andrea and Amy) I just happen to adore as well.  It's like a win-win-win-win situation.  Next stop?  The Nutcracker in December!

Gorgeous pictures of such a beautiful little lady! They almost make me want to have another baby in hopes that I have a girl, just so she can dress up and dance like Miz Millie!
