I think this is super cool (my daughters dance studio)

So, I don't know if this is common at all, because I didn't grow up doing dance. My daughter currently attends a once a week "tots" ballet/tap combo class and she adores it.  I am pretty much in love with it, and the studio she goes to.  We receive newsletters about the studio, and that last one had a note that the studio currently has an intern from the local university who is in her senior year, and will be graduating with a degree in nutrition.  She is available for individual consultation for any of the dancers there, and will be leading workshops for the older, more advanced dancers to teach them how to properly fuel their bodies.  The owner of the studio has made it required of all the dancers (mostly girls) who are on competition teams to meet with her also.  I love that the owner is passionate about teaching the dancers how to fuel their bodies, and encouraging healthy ways to do that!  All of the consultations/workshops are free for the dancers and their families (obviously since she is an intern.)  Obviously this really isn't for my daughters age group, but I love that the owner/director is looking out for the other dancers and including that service for them!  Like I said, this could be totally common and I just don't know, since I am new to the dance world.
