SHY- that is the main reason why I wanted QQ to take up something. Since she loves dancing, I feel that she will be able to “release” herself freely when she dance. I just can’t put her into anything else, although i would very much like her to take up Speech and Drama, to overcome shyness.
U know, I almost smacked her in her first trial class. We have been talking about ballet so long and finally I dragged along my “DOREMI” on that day just to bring her for trial. I knew immediately that is something what she wants when I saw her her teacher dancing with the girls but she just refuse to join in. Fine, I left my boys outside with the maid and go in with her. She hided behind me and refuse to join in too. I was furious and I asked her if she wants to go home immediately. Told her she can forget about dancing and ballet FOREVER.
Luckily teacher understand her silly fear, and ask us to just sit back and just let her observe. I tell you, her eyes SHINE looking at those girls dancing! 15 mins before the class end, teacher softly asked her if would love to join in and she STILL REFUSE. Boy…I was *boiling* already (pity my boys outside while maid alone struggle to feed them their brought along dinner). So I offer to dance in with the class and then slowly only she willing to go in with me. After a while, I went out of the door, to see the boys and assured her that I’ll be back in the class.
U know what, I peeped in and she seems fine. SO HAPPY AND FINE! Very much enjoying the movement and concentrating on the teacher! And now, she is the one always waiting for Friday to come, preparing herself and keep on rushing us how many hours to go before reacher her class.
This girl of mine is really not easy to deal with. However I am glad we went through it ….
P/s: If you have a girl like QQ who loves dancing, you might wanna check out for trial lessons near to your place. Afterall ballet is not very expensive as long as they do not go for exams (I was told exam is not required until Grade 4) which requires frequent attendance twice per week, hence double the monthly fee plus upgrade of costume after every grade.
