“Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.”
-Carl Sandburg
Dancers rely heavily on their parents support and it is
important for them to know that they are in the audience on their side. Dancers
also rely on their parents for financial reasons, because dance is such a costly
sport. Having supportive parents is important because they are the people who
love you the most, and who want you to succeed.
Facing the facts, it is apparent that dance is an expensive sport
with the costs of shoes, costumes, choreography and competition stacking up in
the checkbook year after year. Not to mention doctor’s visits for injuries as a
result of dance. There is no doubt that a dancer relies completely on their
parents for the expenses that dancing brings. Due to dance being so expensive
it is only just that dancers are appreciative for their parents working hard to
pay all of the dance bills and give them thanks for allowing the dancer to do what
they love.
The support of your parents is vitally important at the time
of your performance, knowing your parents are there for you can make the level
of stage confidence so much stronger. The fact that the people who love you the
most are there for you can make all the difference, whether that is if you feel
awful after the performance, nervous before or need relaxation on stage, they
are there for you and think you are the very best one out there.
Parents watch their children dancing and only grow with love
for them, in their mind you are the best one on the stage and the light of
their life. No matter the cost of dance parents should be happy that they are bringing
their children a passion so great it is teaching them discipline, desire and
confidence. To get the most out of their money they should do their best to
attend all performances of their dancer as it can only help give comfort to
them when they are on and off the stage.
I have grown up extremely lucky to have two such supporting
parents who help me to keep my passion of dancing alive. They support my
dancing financially and affectionately and I am so grateful for that. Just
knowing that you’re two biggest fans are in the audience gives a sense of
relief. It’s such a great feeling to have them on your side no matter the
outcome.
Thanks mom and dad!
