But one day at dance class, Elise is worried when her twirling goes out of control and she starts to lose her balance. Her mother encourages Elise to keep trying, to work harder. “Practice makes perfect... that is why we are here... practice, practice and you will have a perfect twirl!” Her mother’s words encouraged Elise to try harder, to practice more.
