I know I don't blog much anymore, but this bit of news is definitely blog-worthy! We just found out today that Hailey made it into the 5-week summer course at SAB (School of American Ballet) in NY! I am still shaking and trying to wipe the happy tears off my face :) Most of you probably don't know much about SAB since you aren't in the world of ballet, but it is the top ballet school in the country (in my humble opinion :)) and extremely hard to get into (only about 200 make it out of 3000 who audition). She had her audition last weekend in Indy (and was the youngest at age 11) and I think her words afterwards were, "I messed up a few times, but not to the point that I think I failed". Haha...such humble and honest words from our ballerina. AND...not only did she get into the program, but she was blessed with a wonderful scholarship package. AMAZING! We are so proud of her and so grateful for this gift God has given her. I cannot wait to see her face later on today when she gets the news. She will be on cloud nine! Finally some good ballet news after a disappointing end-of-2012! So, NY...get ready....our beautiful ballerina will be gracing you with her presence soon! Now I need to start preparing myself to have her out of my sight for FIVE whole weeks. Lord, help me! But, I am so excited for my girl and this amazing opportunity to travel and better learn the art of ballet she loves so much...and especially to learn the art of Balanchine ballet, which I know she will love dancing. Congrats, Hays!!!!

That is absolutely incredible!! Congratulations, Hailey! I'm super, super impressed (but, as I told your mama, not totally surprised; it's clear you're a natural pro at ballet!). Kelly, that's so incredible. You and Kevin definitely have reason be proud of your girl. And kudos to you both for seeing her talent and stopping at nothing to encourage her in this passion of hers. That's awesome! Hailey, your parents are awesome...and so are you!
Congratulations Miss Hailey, A star is born, a new Ballerina. I am going to wait from the deepest of my heart the moment she will come dance at the OPERA DE PARIS. This day, I shall be at the first place to admire her.
Congratulations and happy new year to all the Steg Family.

That is wonderful! We have a friend whose daughter is 12 and went this year, assuming she will go again. Her sister has gone every year for the last several as well and is now was just selected for a dance scholarship in college! Congrats to Haley!
