A performer in our midst
Mollie is musical. She sings. In the Australian Youth Choir. She plays the violin. Has done since she was 4. Her choice. When I was 4, I didn’t even know what a violin was. Even when she began playing, I didn’t know you could buy kid-sized ones!
She has never been a dancer. This is because I have dance phobia. I think I went to a tap lesson when I was about 6, and it scarred me for life. I did take her to enrol when she started school, but when we went to buy the leotard and the shoes, I chickened out and pulled the plug. Last year, a friend’s children were performing in a dance eisteddfod. I went along to watch. I was traumatised. All she has ever wanted has been to dance, and thanks to me, it’s been out of reach.
Last year, she tried out for dance for Star Struck (see image below). She just missed out, but was accepted into the choir. Today, she tried out for dance and made it! Happy is our little performer! Proud is her non-musical, two-left-feet mother. Go Mol!
Wooooo Hooooo *cracks champagne* Yay!!! excellent..
oh a great big congratulations to Mollie…
