Report
I was part of this group for 6 years and let me tell you it does wonders for your child's confidence, poise, public speaking, dedication, responsibility dance and singing skills and the ability to get up in front of thousands of people and perform. We performed at such venues as Disney Magic Kingdom, the Womans Final Four, for Presidential conventions, HSN and the Orlando Magic Halftime show. My daughter is 7 and has been a member of the group since she was 5 and absolutely loves it! She goes through life singing and dancing and this is the perfect group for her and she loves all of her ER sisters. I can't wait to see how much she continues to grow in the group.
