From where I am sitting, and I have been doing a lot of sitting and observing during these last couple of weeks, things are very beautiful.
Since my daughter’s ballet school is on the serious side, they do not have an end-of-the-year recital like most of the other schools around the City. Instead, they had this wonderful day where all the parents got to come and watch a class and see what they have been working on this semester. I can report back lots of twirls, leaps, interpretive moves, and, of course, cuteness.
It has been a little sad for Mira to see her friends who attend neighborhood dance studios showing off their fairy, butterfly, princess tutus and their special dances. Every time she looks a little wistful, I remind her that she can perform in “The Nutcracker” when she is a big girl and that her ballet school is one of the only ones to do a production of that special show.
Then Mira will say, in a voice faintly tinted with a British accent, “Oh. Well, I do so LOVE ‘The Nutcracker’!” And off she’ll move, grand jeteing down the street and a happy ballerina again.
