My daughter started dance lessons two years ago, and she was so painfully shy that she clung to me during class. It took weeks for her to be able to practice with the kids in her class. She loved learning to dance, especially ballet, and would come home and practice by herself, so I knew she was learning. She just hated to participate during class and was very nervous around the other kids.
This year, she started out the same way. She was excited about dance class and wanted to go, but it still took a while for her to really participate with the other kids. By the end of the year, though, she was doing well. She was excited about the recital and love-love-loved her new dance outfit! At the recital, she danced on the stage with her class in front of lots of people and enjoyed it!
She has come so far in the last two years.
She has gone from painfully shy to enjoying others.
She has the courage to dance when people are watching!
