I Hope You Dance

For the last 3 years I have been able to fulfill my dream of being a dance teacher. Saturday was our recital, my last one. The studio owner, Caralee (a friend from our ward), is moving to Wyoming. Dress rehersal was terrible Saturday morning. I don't know what happened but it was bad. I left thinking "oh well, nothing I can do now!" Luckily the old saying about "bad dress rehersal, good performance" proved true. My little ballerinas did wonderful! I also had to dance in the finale. I was really nervous because I haven't been on stage for 9 years, but I think I did okay. In some ways I am sad that it is over. In some ways it is tempting to take things into my own hands and have my own studio. Most of all I am just happy that I had the experience to share my talent. The one part of teaching I didn't like was the job stress. If I was a studio owner that would be much higher and I prefer to just enjoy my dancing. So for now that chapter of life is over. Maybe now I'll have to work on getting Jared to that ballroom class he's promised to take with me!
