Pups_mum Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Just a lighthearted thread! Complete the sentence please... For me it would be: You know you're a "dance mum" when you recognise your daughter by her feet! I was recently looking at some photos that one of my DD's teachers had taken. One in particular caught my eye but I didn't recognise the dancer. Til I looked at her feet and only then spotted it was my own daughter...whoops... What about everyone else? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxi4ballet Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 When you spend 15 minutes chatting away to someone you vaguely recognise whilst either a) frantically trying to cover up the fact that you have no idea who they are,what their child's name is or where you met even though they seem to know everything about you or frantically trying to change the subject to anything under the sun except ballet because you have just remembered that you met at an audition when your child got in and theirs didn't or c) frantically trying to be terribly enthusiastic about their child and at the same time extra-modest about your own 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
