Some lovely moments in our last week as a school. Tappers made up a sequence of all their dance routines over the years, senior ballet was joined by ex students and myself and Rachel and this poem was made up by two students.
I will miss everyone but never be too far away, thank you for all the kind messages from the previous post.
Have a lovely Summer and take care xx

Backstage

You think it’s just dance.

Just a class.
Just a phase.
Just something to burn off energy after school.

You sit at that first practice
scrolling your phone
half watching
thinking this is just one more thing to try.

But then

You notice the way she watches the teacher.
The way she keeps going
even when she gets it wrong.
The way her eyes light up
when she finally gets it right.

And something shifts.

Suddenly it’s not just dance anymore.

It’s the nights you’re rushing out the door
with bobby pins in your mouth
and tights in your purse.

It’s the early mornings.
The long rehearsals.
The money, the time, the sacrifice
no one else quite understands.

It’s watching her doubt herself…
and then watching her push through anyway.

It’s sitting in the audience,
heart pounding,
hands shaking

because somehow
her courage feels like yours too.

And then one day

She walks on that stage
not as the little girl you signed up

but as someone stronger,
braver,
more confident
than you ever imagined.

And you realize

You didn’t just sign her up for dance.

You signed her up
to find herself.

And somewhere in the middle of it all…

you found your people.
Your community.
Your village of moms
who sat beside you,
cried beside you,
cheered just as loud.

You came for a class

but you stayed
for the girl she’s becoming
and the life it built around you.

And if you could go back
to that very first practice

you’d still say yes
every single time. 💗
