dancing is like dreaming with your feet

• (red) pointe shoes
• tutus
• the beautiful music
• the dreamy atmosphere
• beautiful ballet photos and posters
• when your teacher gives you a compliment
• working hard and seeing improvement
• seeing yourself in the mirror of the ballet studio, dressed in ballet clothes
• nutcracker season
• dress rehearsals
• the dance of the sugar plum fairy
• being backstage
• being onstage
• collecting trinkets with ballerinas and pointe shoes
• programmes
• seeing ballets with my mother
• reading my mother's old ballet books
