Isla did her first Highland Fling all the way through last night. It was really cool as this is the dance that you do the most as a dancer, we use it for warm up and we do it at each competition. How many times in my life have I done a Highland Fling? Lots of times. And is it perfect? Ahhhhh no! Not by a long shot. Last night at my dance class we worked on the Fling and still I have so many things to think about and perfect. Now Isla has entered this world as well, learning something but knowing that you will never be done making it better.
She has her second competition a couple of weeks ago, it was a bigger competition than the last one. There were twelve that danced in her class. In her two dances she made some mistakes but it was the way that she recovered from them that was so awesome. She kept going and had a big smile on her face and was so beautiful up there!
When it came time to hand out the awards we knew that it was a long shot that she would be awarded any prizes so neither of us was surprised that she didn’t get anything. But she handled that so well, I was so proud of her! She is such an amazing little girl.
