"Thanks so much Maryann! It was great talking to you today. Thanks for working so hard to continue Timothy's advancement just like your talented star son has been achieving. We will definitely do our best and take your recommendation. It is great news that an actor sometimes has this kind of "dilemma" That means they must be on the right track. Yes I am amazed that Timothy has the joy, desire, and discipline to perform. Besides the great credential it has provided Timothy, The King and I has been a great opportunity for Timothy to learn so many things as well in acting, theater, singing, and so on.

We spoke with Andrew last night about the dance lessons you suggested and the short of it is, we will be contacting Broadway Dance soon to see what the recommend and what we can fit into our schedule.
