it's very important for you to show the

kids at home how they can learn to do

the things they see you doing on the

show oh I couldn't agree more and make

sure you stress the degree of dedication

and practice that's necessary for

performers to learn their craft h but

you can have a great time singing and

dancing just for the fun of it you're

absolutely right work in the information
