Being in a dance show is not all make up and glamour just ask Paige.
It's waking up early (6 a.m.) and having to eat breakfast when you are still half asleep. It's sleeping in curlers, and waking up early so your mom can take out the curlers, touch up the curls with a curling iron and then spray the heck out of your hair with Aqua Net. It's wearing lots of make up so your eyes and mouth stand out on stage and then scrubbing it off with make up remover. It's doing stretches to warm up (and to keep everyone focused and not running around) on a gym floor. But it is also singing Christmas Carols at the top of your lungs with 5 other dancer-friends in the car on the way to do shows and it's eating pizza and cookies at the dance studio for lunch. It's seeing the smiles of the old folks at the nursing homes and the kids at the schools. It's finally getting to do your dance that you have learned and practiced for 2 months. It's knowing that your mom and dad are so proud of you for doing your best and making it look so easy and fun.
