I still remember the look on her face, uncertain, shy, clutching my hand as we walked into her very first ballet class at En Pointe York.

She wasn’t sure.
I wasn’t sure.

But within ten minutes, something magical happened.

The music started.
The mirrors caught her reflection.
The teacher knelt down and smiled like she’d been waiting just for her.
And then, she danced.

It was a simple plié. Not perfect. Not polished. But something lit up in her eyes that I hadn’t seen before.

✨ Confidence.
✨ Joy.
✨ Belonging.
