God, I was SO bored by ballet, maybe because I could never get my tights pulled all the way up and I was only there because my parents had realized I was astonishingly clumsy. Never made it to learning more than one step in a row, never had a recital. Good on Sophie for learning the whole dance. I can’t do that, either, not even the dumb stompy ones we do at Shakespeare evenings. (Between 15 and 40 I was able to keep a few in mind.)

I love it! I love that she waved-this was so beautifully written-I felt like I was there. I would have applauded the wave also! Go Sophie! What a charmer.

Okay, just cried for the second time after reading this. I was one of the lucky ones in that audience watching the poise of Annabelle and the delight of Sopie’s wave. Thank you for the incredible joy!

Amy, you captured everything so beautifully. I have goosebumps. I’m so glad it was such a wonderful day. I can really relate to the stressful build-up (shock!).
Congratulations to your beautiful ballerinas on a wonderful performance!

Great. Now you’ve made a grown man cry (albeit one who knits, points his toes, and sheds tears during “Desperate Housewives”). Plus I’m jealous. I’ve never been able to leap and wave at the same time.

You’re not kidding. I was in that auditorium and Sophie totally brought the house down. She took her moment. Awesome.
