Not a prude.

And the arts ARE important. Operative word being ART.

Music major, voice trumpet, piano,

Three children who are dancers (tho I never danced a lick) one studying to be a professional dancer. One now in TV production.

My 14 yo old African American son, thought the show was a dismal failure. I think his word was "awful". He said I was too kind to the other dancers, but then again with the choreography so bad it was hard to tell if they really could dance or not. He doesn't like her singing-all that much, and he said she definitely isn't a dancer. Merely someone taught the steps to do a dance. A huge difference.

Oh, and I'm a she, not a he. Not that it matters that much.
