Welp, we're back at Dance. We kind of stopped because Maddie seemed, hm...uninterested? She wasn't excited about going and frankly, it's kinda pricey so unless she enjoyed it, no go. After missing a few weeks she started to ask again. I was hesitant to bring her to the same school....I realized she (nor I) really liked the teacher. She was kinda...mean. I am the first to admit Maddie can use some discipline and structure but this was a bit excessive. They kinda made it feel very competition-based and Dance Mom-ish. The one fear I have in life is having to deal with crazy coaches and worse, crazier moms. When I saw my old high school friend Kim at our reunion, she reminded me she teaches Maddie's age at another school...perfect! Kim has three kids of her own and she's been a lover and student of dance for years! So....here we are, at Robin Dawn, LOVING it. What a difference! Maddie is so excited to go and Miss Kim seems to think she's got lots of natural talent :). I swear I won't turn into a stage mom. But I will, no doubt be the embarrassing, sobbing one at her first recital.
