morning
with the new students raise your hands
please
now which of you is the best dancer in
the last class he or she took
come on
it's a heady thing isn't it being the
best
teachers dote on your other students ask
for your help
and an aura builds and then you get
accepted into aba
whether or not you admit it you start
thinking
it's just a matter of time before you're
doing giselle before packed houses at
lincoln center
for most of you that will never happen
i don't say this to be cruel i say it to
help you clarify your expectations for
the year ahead
if you work harder every day than you've
ever worked in your life
this school will turn you into the best
dance you can possibly be
that may or may not be the kind of
dancer i have room for in the company
at best i can take three boys and three
girls
i'll be watching you carefully over the
coming months but i won't be making any
decisions until i see how you dance in
the workshop performance
at the end of the year they won't be
easy decisions to make
because you're all very talented you
wouldn't be here if you weren't
thank you for bringing your gifts to our
community
i wish you all a very good year
i hope he doesn't think that was
inspirational oh one more thing one more
thing
next week is the company gala we always
invite our advanced students to attend
the performance
and to help out at the party afterwards
i expect you all to be there
and you are so glad you could fit us
into your busy schedule eva
oh no sweat
you
