~Parent Orientation at Tulsa Ballet Center for Dance Education Day~

Perhaps, I could have gotten a really neat photograph of their excellent staff,
or their beautiful facility, or an image of the pre-professionals rehearsing...
But, nope...nothing...
So here's a pretty cool quote I came across once we were home.

To kick off her JUNIOR year
What happened to my Kindergartener with her pink monogrammed backpack?
