---- "Ouch, mom I am so sour that it hurts to move." "Stop complaining, you wanted to learn dance in the first place." "Mom I can't go to school because of the pain!" "Get up, nothing is wrong!” All the mother can hear for a while is that "I hate dance, I hate dance!" This is the conversation that any mom can count on, when her daughter begins to take dance class,but as soon as any girl performs for an audience it is all worth it! As soon as the mother sees her wearing a fluffy, little, pink tutu and then her cute smiling face, she becomes the most precious thing in the universe. Thankfully, the toughest step is finally over.
----Now comes the pretty part. The little girl enjoys dancing once a week in class. The pain fades away as she gets used to the Rond de Jambe. At the recital it suddenly happens, the girl becomes a sparkling star. Every single step is crisp, the hands are firmly straight, and the legs aren't wobbling. The dance is perfect showing all the moves gracefully placed.
----As soon as the mother gets excited with the progress the girl has made, and already has hopes for her to become a dancer it all ends. This girl has stepped all over the hopes and dreams. Next thing you now it is over, she has quit dance and started music. The mother goes with the daughter and now is happy for the music, but in her heart feels the daughter should go back to dancing. Everyday to music class the girl goes not showing enthusiasm.
----Finally the day comes when her daughter feels that dance was the thrill in her life and wants to go back. The mother shows her pleasure in her smile hoping for her daughter to become one of the mice in The Nutcracker Ballet. Dance becomes harder, with catching up with the other girls and learning the new twirl, demi monde. The mother knows her daughter will quit with the stress, but the daughter proves the mother wrong by sticking to dance in this rough patch.
----No matter what happens the mother is proud of the strength her child has gained from dancing. The daughter is happy her mother is proud, and works harder. By the following year the daughter is Clara in The Nutcracker Ballet in Boston. Not finished the girl keeps trying her best and becomes a dance teacher! The passion she had for dance!
