Re: Exactly what does your agent do?
YES - definitely get your agent onto the contract before you sign. That's what you're paying her/him for! We've been under a contract with a company spelled D****Y. My take is that, within the law, they will suck your child dry. They own everything for ever, and you will never get your hands on a go...

Re: How do you manage dance school demands and auditions?
