'Eisteddfod Season'

Well, we are certainly in the midst of Dance Eisteddfod season at the moment. Of course we see so many beautiful dancers at Plie, all ready to do their best each week, and especially at the Eisteddfods.

Every year we’re impressed by how much young talent there is in our local dance schools. But even more impressive is the enthusiasm of all the young dancers and the commitment to their dance and their schools.

And, we’re not just talking about the dancers who win the competitions and blitz their exams, but also the dancers who just LOVE going every week to class. Who dance ALL the time. Who come into Plie and want every kind of dance accessory available to them, just cause they LOVE dance. Their passion is admirable. 

Just like my Niece Olivia. On the weekend, Olivia put on a dance performance for us. At home, she dressed up in her leotard, had her cousins ‘introduce’ her to her eager audience of Aunties and Uncles and cousins, and she danced her little heart out.

It was adorable.

Olivia reminded me on the weekend, how much I used to LOVE dance too. Although, unlike Olivia, I was no star, never blitzed any exam. But, I loved it all the same.

My Daughter Amalia watched her big Cousin like it was the most amazing performance ever. And has been playing ‘Dance Classes’ ever since.

Dance can get a little serious sometimes, and at Plie, we are witness to it all. So thanks Olivia, for reminding us what dance is really all about.

Olivia dances at Dynamite Performing Arts on Sydney's Northern Beaches. For any enquiries go to their website www.dynamitepa.com.au or give them a call on  02 9979 1277
