Welcome!

Dazzles Kids in Arts Magazine is an idea that was born from a necessity to find resources for my two talented girls. After spending a lot of time trying to find information about music schools, talent agencies, auditions, scholarships and many other things. I had a vision to publish a magazine with all the information we need to develop our children’s talent. In Dazzles Kids in Arts Magazine you will find all the needs for your “Future Star”. With well-written articles, quality photography and dynamic graphic design that parents and children can enjoy.

As a mother of my own talented children I will be your partner and friend in this wonderful journey!

Special Mention

A new Idea

"Creativity now is as important in education as literacy." Sir Ken Robinson, author of Creating Tomorrow's Schools Today: Education - Our Children - Their Futures

We live in an age of unprecedented technological change. At this rapid and accelerating rate, we can hardly imagine the skills that children who are in school today will need to possess 10 to 15 years from now. In such a world, creativity ("The ability to come up with original ideas of value" Sir K.R.) will be of paramount importance.

The cognitive, emotional, and psychosocial bene�ts of music education in children are well documented. Music is also an ideal medium in which children can be creative, improvising and composing their own songs. When taught in a cross-disciplinary way, music education also improves quantitative and problem-solving skills. Music gives our brain a complete workout (see Daniel Levitin "This is Your Brain on Music".)

Yet at a time when the bene�ts of music education become clearer, budget cuts and the ever-increasing pressure of standardized tests lead our public schools to consider reducing or eliminating music programs from their curricula. For students and parents considering starting or continuing music classes, the summer o�ers an extraordinary

opportunity. It is a time when rapid, substantial progress is possible. Unlike the rest of the school year, when children's time and energy is spent almost entirely at school and with homework, the two and a half months of summer are a time children can use to learn music and gain pro�ciency on a musical instrument.

During the summer, children are well rested, and in better shape to learn something completely new, like the piano. Without having to worry about homework, they can fully engage in the learning process. The relaxed summer schedule allows them to practice daily, and with it comes the excitement of witnessing their own progress, thus motivating them to excel.

The abilities and concepts acquired during their participation in a well-balanced music summer camp will serve children well in the future. Given all these advantages, it comes as no surprise that many parents choose to enroll their children in music programs over the summer. However, because the summer should be a time to rest and relax after a stressful school year, it is important that such a program be everything children need: educational, recreational, artistic and fun.

Jacqueline Doulis is a well-traveled Photographer whom has lived in many countries but has only one close to heart, Australia. “Growing up in Australia was adventurous to say the least, when I look back at school and all the activities that were available to children including school camp trips in national parks, horseback riding, ice skating, sur�ng, volleyball, netball, water polo, soccer, football, surf, lifesaving, ballet, music and much more. I can't help but want to o�er more, especially as a mother to the children in our schools of today.” Jacqueline says.

7-Inspire is a new innovate Idea to encourage children to participate in artistic activities. Dazzles magazine was in the premiere of this wonderful event.

7-Inspire was created to encourage and inspire young minds. Its mission is to captivate the youth of America to try the arts or exercise, and to enjoy being young and creative. The inspiration behind it was remembering how it was to be young and free. The idea came from a mother wanting more for her children than what is o�ered at local schools. This idea brings the arts to kids in a form of a concert to schools or organizations as a fundraiser. 7-Inspire objective is to captivate and touch the hearts of young children in the form of music, dance, the arts, exercise in general, and to inspire them to live a healthy, energetic, and creative life in a safe environment.

06 | summer issue | dazzlesmagazine.com

I’ve been involved with beauty pageants for a number of years. My three daughters competed some as children, and all three of my granddaughters, along with my niece, have competed. Even two of my grandsons were involved with pageants when they were younger. I’ve also served as a certi�ed judge, as a pageant coordinator, and as a spectator. I’ve learned a wealth of information about pageants, and if you’re new to beauty pageants, you might bene�t from some of this information.

Beauty pageants are o�en viewed in a negative light, which is somewhat understandable when you consider the amount of bad press pageants have received. I don’t know why it is, but the entertainment industry seems determined to show only the negative side of pageants. I suppose it has to do with the fact that negative, sensational reporting attracts viewers and readers. I’m not saying that there are absolutely no negatives with pageantry, but the positives far outweigh the negatives.

My gang – all except for one – loves everything about pageantry. �e exception is my middle granddaughter, who’s too shy to feel comfortable on stage. She did one pageant and decided quickly it wasn’t something she wanted to continue, so we never tried to convince her otherwise. In my opinion, this is one of the most important aspects of a successful pageantry experience – the child has got to want to be involved! I don’t believe in forcing children into a hobby, and for us, pageantry is a hobby.

Participating in pageants can teach kids valuable lessons. �ey can learn about sportsmanship and how to win and lose graciously. �ey can learn to support others. �ey can gain con�dence about being in front of strangers and performing on a stage. �ey can also learn about setting goals and working hard to achieve them.

Our pageant kids have made lots of friends through pageantry. �ere’s always some time backstage for the kids to play and interact and for the adults to chat. 99% of the pageant moms and grandmas I’ve met have been very nice people – not like the ones o�en depicted on television. I’ve encountered one or two nasty adults, but they were far outside the norm.

Of course, other bene�ts of pageants are the prizes that can be won. For smaller children, many pageants give every contestant some sort of prize. �is might be a trophy, a crown, a stu�ed animal, a candy bag, or a toy. �e winners get larger prizes. Our kids have won money, savings bonds, gi� certi�cates, trips, trophies, sashes, jewelry, toys, room décor, furniture, luggage, DVD players, �owers, and cameras.

In addition to the bene�ts already mentioned, pageants can be a lot of fun for parents and children! Parent and child usually work as a team – practicing, selecting out�ts, and choosing music for routines. �e day of the pageant is an exciting time, and larger pageants o�en have booths and

tables that sell food, toys, jewelry, and pageant accessories. Many pageants also include live entertainment, like dancing or singing, and some have costumed characters to interact with the younger contestants.

For children to have a positive pageant experience, they need to be emotionally prepared. If the boy or girl is too young to understand that there are winners and losers, you obviously won’t have to worry about this. For older children,

however, they need to understand that they won’t always win. Explain to them that a pageant is a contest, where they’re judged for just that one or two-minute period on stage. On a di�erent day, or with di�erent judges, the outcome might be totally di�erent.

Really, it’s best not to stress winning. Encourage your little contestants to do their best, instead. Focus more on the fun and camaraderie of pageants, and not on the chase for the crown. Make it a special day. Take your child out to eat before or a�er the pageant, and let him or her pick the restaurant. �is is even more enjoyable when you go with a group of contestants and parents.

If your son or daughter doesn’t win, praise the child for competing. Not all kids are brave enough to get on stage in front of an audience. Teach the child to be happy for and to congratulate the winner, and let your son or daughter see you doing the same. Be a good role model for your child to emulate.

“Participating in pageants can teach

kids valuable lessons. They can learn about sportsmanship and how to win and lose

graciously.”

Beauty Pageants can be Positive Experiences

By Holle Abee


�ere’s a lot of preparation that goes into competing in a pageant. How much preparing you have to do depend on the type of pageant you enter. Natural and face pageants that don’t allow makeup, tanning, �ippers, or pageant hair are easier to prepare for. At the other end of the spectrum are glitz pageants, which are the most popular. With these beauty pageants, contestants need a high glitz dress, a spray tan, pageant hair, and even the right shoes and socks. �e child might also need a �ipper, a partial set of perfect false teeth. If the pageant o�ers categories other than beauty, you might also need out�ts for swimwear, out�t of choice, casual wear, or costume wear.

Kids over the age of three or four also need to know the pageant walk and how to turn on the x-marks. �ey should look comfortable and happy on stage, with a natural looking smile and lots of personality. For young children, personality is usually more important than poise in the eyes of the judges.

Many beauty pageants require photos of the contestants. If you’re allowed to enter more than one photo, do so. Shoot for a di�erent look in each photograph. It’s best if these photos are taken by a professional pageant photographer, as they try to keep up with the latest trends in pageantry.

10 Tips

to win a Pageant

1. Always make eye contact with the judges.

2. SMILE. Think of something funny to create a natural smile.

3. Have confidence. Your confidence and pose is what will take you to the next level.

4. Don’t compare yourself with other girls, you are unique.

5. Be yourself. The judges want to see girls how they really are.

6. Practice. The more you practice, the more prepared you are.

7. Always maintain excellent posture. Keep your walk slow and elegant.

8. Don't do a pageant just because someone else wants you to. You have to want it.

9. Even if you don't get the crown, you're a winner just for competing.

10. If you don’t succeed at first try again. Most pageant winners have competed many times before they get the crown.

get your child into Modeling

How to By Dagyana Romero

Leilani Aoki Romero

You should never pay anything to an agency up front. Stay away from all open calls at hotels and malls that seem to run rampant during the summer. These companies are interested in your money. They want to sell you classes, not develop your child's talent.

As with anything on the internet, DO YOUR RESEARCH before working with anyone. Check references and always read anything you’re presented to sign carefully.

Look for photographers who shoot TFP or TFCD. These are shoots where the model donates her time and the photographer donates the pictures. Essentially it's a free shoot where both parties then use the photos in their portfolios. I will give you one word of advice, when doing these shoots make sure you're presented with a Non-Commercial model release. The photographer should only be using the images for their portfolio. Make sure there's no clause allowing them to sell the images, if the photographer is going to make money o� the images then they should be compensating the model.

Newcomers are often surprised to learn there is a busy season for modeling, commercials, TV and �lm in Florida.

Most are also surprised to discover that hundreds of New York, Canadian and European based companies (ie: Macys, La Senza Girl, Next, Vertbaudet, H&M Sweden, Vogue Bambini, etc.) all send crews to Florida to produce and advertising campaigns, catalogs, commercials, etc. instead of producing them in New York, Canada or in Europe.

So why is this and when exactly is the busy season?

September 1st marks the beginning of the busy season for models and talent in Florida and - while summer is the busiest time of the year in New York and many other major markets - by mid-September the days are getting shorter, the quality of light in the northern

hemisphere begins to deteriorate and cold weather starts to a�ect New York as well as England, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, etc.

So what do clothing retailers and manufacturers U.S. and worldwide do in September?

The same thing they have been doing since the early 1990’s.... They start �ocking to Florida in droves.

So let’s take it season by season, month by month:

FALL: September is when everything starts to ramp up and production crews begin arriving from all points north. October is typically busier than September, November is usually busier than October and the �rst two weeks of December are extremely busy as everyone is trying to cram as much into those two weeks as possible because most will take a break during the last two weeks of December.

WINTER/SPRING: Everything comes roaring back to life in January. Although January, February, March and April are “peak seasons”, May can be a good month as well, especially if cold weather lingers for an extra couple of weeks up north.

SUMMER: June, July and August are the slowest months of the year but virtually all of the kids from out of state that were here during peak season have gone home and many of the top child models that live in Florida are in New York or elsewhere for the summer, so there is work in Florida in the summer especially with Florida based clothing and toy companies, Florida theme parks, Caribbean resorts, cruise lines, etc. Summer is also an important time of the year in Florida because summer is when the best Florida agencies are looking for new kids and during the summer is when they have the most free time to see them.

are some things you must know about getting into the kid modeling industry in Florida.
