My cheer girls got a chance to get back to the basics last night. More than that, they got a chance to try some new things. Every girl got a chance to be a base and every girl got a chance to be a flyer (if she wanted). Every.....single.......one. Every girl got a chance to try out the different positions of the stunt. Every girl got a chance to try something different.
Why is that important?
It's important because every dancer should have the ability to explore their artistic abilities. The looks on their faces as built their confidence by thinking outside the box was incredible. They loved it! It was awesome.
What's the point of this post?
The point is to remind your kids to try new things. It may be that you never speculated they'd be that good. It may be that it never occurred to you that they'd enjoy it. On the other hand, they might not enjoy it...but at least they tried. Kids will never learn who they are if they don't explore. :)
