The dance studio was packed with excited parents and relatives, anxious to see the performance. They were chatting and laughing, waiting for the show to begin. The stage wasn't much more than a rolling curtain, which had been borrowed from the neighboring theater, but no one seemed to mind the minimal decoration.
After all, the dancers were barely tall enough to reach the balance bar.
On the other side of the curtain, the girls were nervous and excited, and trying to focus on what their teacher was saying to them. "Molly," Adora repeated, giving the seven-annual-old a nudge. "Hey," she said, smiling as the young girl looked at her. "You remember where you're going to stand?"
Molly nodded with most of her upper body. Adora gave her a wink and helped adjust Molly's tulle-filled skirt. "You look wonderful."
"Do I look won-der-fol?" Susan asked. Adora smiled at the little girl who had just appeared next to Molly.
"You do," Adora nodded, reaching up to give the blonde girl's nose a light tap. "You all look wonderful," she told the sea of peach and pink tulle skirts standing in front of her. "Are you ready?" The girls hemmed for a moment, then finally started nodding together. "Okay," Adora nodded and pushed herself up.
Adora moved to the edge of the curtain and waved to Wyatt Cain, who was standing in a corner, next to a phonograph. After a whistle to get his attention, Adora gave him a thumbs up and disappeared behind the curtain again.
Wyatt moved the arm on the phonograph and set the needle down on the record. The audience became silent as the melody began playing, and the rolling curtain moved back slightly, giving the girls a space in the middle to move through. As they filed out and lined up in front of the curtain, the parents applauded.
