One of the first things we learned about Snow was that she was a dancer. In fact, she has been dancing since she was 3 years old. She is very flexible due to many hours of practice and stretching exercises over the past 14 years. When she was back in China over the summer she danced for several hours every day, which is when she lost all her 'American' weight. She has been deliberating over whether to join the school dance team and was concerned it was not serious enough for her. After talking to her about it she decided to join the team and hopefully she can change some attitudes with her dedication to the sport.
Tonight I was invited to see Snow perform a traditional Chinese dance at the benefactors' reception at school. Just like the many times before when our own children performed in the music concert and school play, I was looking forward to it all day. She choreographed the dance and taught the rest of the team the moves. I was hoping to include the whole video of the dance but I wasn't able to include it here, however I was able to include a couple of stills that show her costume and flexibility. Seeing Snow perform tonight made me very proud.....
