Sometimes You Get Lucky

 Yesterday was a big day for our girl. When she first joined Monarch, she had to choose how many dances she would compete. Because everything was new and she had no idea who would be joining the team, she decided to do one, and we supported that decision. Pretty quickly she decided to add a solo, which we were thrilled about.

Last week, we got the list of team dances, and Issa was thrilled to be in a musical theatre/tap piece. The other three high schools are in it along with two middle school dancers. All was well, but she was a little sad she was only doing one. But...we had made our choices based on the information we had at the time. Onward.

Yesterday, we got a text from her teacher. A dancer had the opposite reaction and felt like she was in too many. It opened a space in a modern/contemporary piece with the other three high school dancers, and she invited Issa to join. No pressure if she still wanted only one--just an offer. Issa jumped on it! She is so excited to be dancing a second piece with her friends.

We are loving watching her love dance again. This little team has bonded, and she is finding so much joy at the studio, which is bringing me so much joy.
