#mini moms

Let's talk about how considerate Abby was for once when giving Ari that beautiful solo. Let's talk about how Ari, a girl of what, 10? Ignored middle aged women bitching about her and telling each other that her disabled brother shouldn't be acknowledged. Let's talk about how the mini team were so supportive of Ari and Sari during this because they knew how hard it would be. Let's talk about Abby being kind to Ari's big brother and telling him how special he was and this dance was because it was for him. Let's talk about how Ari danced beautifully, showing us both technicality and emotion, with her lines and her straight knees and her high releve. Let's talk about how the judges were almost in tears, and how Ari, the sweet kid was in tears herself. Let's talk about how Ari ran off stage to give her brother a hug, then returned to receive her critique. Let's talk about how Ari placed higher than a more experienced, older dancer when she is so young and so new to the company. Let's talk about Ari's family this episode, shall we?
