As she walked through the door of the hall that afternoon, along with 5 other girls and 2 boys, all about the same age as her, Nina tried not to burst into tears again. Looking around she saw that everyone else looked quite nervous too.

"Hello, boys and girls," Miss Hunt, the teacher, said, greeting them all with a cheery smile. She looked really nice, Nina thought to herself. She immediately felt much better, though her legs still felt like jelly.

Nina's mum couldn't stop herself from worrying the whole way through her daughter's dance lesson.
