I Hope You Dance

Nimuae's Dance Recitals

There have been sightings of our little dancer, Nimuae, all over Black Mountain.

First, she was seen with a gaggle of giggling girls filling elders' hearts with joy at Highland Farms Nursing Home, dancing to "I Hope You Dance."

Then she was spotted a week later at the Black Mountain Center for the Arts Preformance Room dancing to "Tupelo Honey."

(we thought it was funny that the audience sat on the stage while the girls danced on the floor. Then we found out that a few years back, one of the young girls fell off the stage mid-preformance.....problem solved!)

After the preformance on Tuesday, we met the Forest Children's Teacher, Kiesa, at the library. I saw Nim and Kiesa working on the computer together, with whispers and smiles being shared between the two of them. This morning at work, I was suprised to receive the following email in my inbox....
