When I watch her
dance .
It's like a flower
blossoming
Like black magic
Like a beautiful
symphony
She is so incredibly
talented
And so incredibly
happy when she dances
Last night was the
first mid year show of the new competition
team Beauty joined
in sept for hip hop in Montreal . Completely separate and in Addition to the
dance program she is involved in as her program at school
It is a huge
commitment as already her almost professional dance program at school is
demanding throughout the day and most days Afterschool . Add two evenings of
hip hop to this at a different location and many weekends days and evenings on
weekends and you have a very full schedule
Probably not the best
idea for a girl who is struggling right now in school ? Or how is not overly
committed to academics ?Not as connected to home life and family ?
My head often says no
My heart mostly says
yes
I listen to my heart
in this one
Simply put : it's her
thing
She comes alive
because of dance
She is one with dance
Dance is her
I am not sure she
would be her .. Without it all at this high level
Especially hip hop
Beauty does all kinds
of dance from classical ballet , to jazz , to folklore to salsa and to the one
they do on Spain that I forget the name of .
She is great at all
kinds of dance And much more
Hip hop though is
where I see it is her thing . Completely and definitely . A pure and innate and
natural talent
Each time I watch a
show I am amazed
Was great day
yesterday to just be at home after such a long exhausting and excruciating week
of business travel and stomach flu combined . Did the tree and turkey stuffing
and delicious new recipe for short team cookies and Christmas cards .( well the
cooking part maybe hubby did and I helped and made our Xmas cards ? )
Had dinner with all
the boys and chase sweet girlfriend who came to eat and show with us . Such a
great girl and fun to chat with her and have another girl around too .
Sunday was a great
day after a hellish week .
Thank goodness for
the weekends to relax and rejuvenate and to connect with the people we love
And to watch our
talented dancing daughter in her element.
Each time I watch her
it is a journey
Each time she dances
like that -we discover her deeply
