My sister told my mother that she wanted to take ballet lessons. She said that she wants to be a dancer, a ballerina like the ones she saw on TV. the next day, we decided to visit a local dance studio that offers ballet classes. My sister loved the place very much that she begged our mother to enrol her immediately. So we agreed and then we were off to the mall to buy her ballet shoes and clothes for her beginners ballet classes.
As we were buying her outfits, she looked absolutely cute in her tights and tutu. After that, we went to look for her ballet shoes. The salesperson was very helpful but my sister didn’t like the way that the ballet shoes felt on her feet. I explained to her that ballet shoes were supposed to feel like that and if she wanted to take the class, she needed to get them.
Her first class was a week later. She was all decked out elegantly in her new outfit but refused to put the ballet shoes on. After pleading with her for 15 minutes, I told her she could wear sandals and put her ballet shoes on when we arrived. When we arrived at her class, she still hadn’t put on her ballet shoes. I told her teacher about the problem so she approached my sister and whispered something. In a second, she was putting on her ballet shoes.
She is now in 6th grade and still loves to dance. She still dreams of becoming a ballerina but also explores other forms of dances. But it is with ballet that she has discovered her passion for dancing.
