A Line of Dreams

Call me a sucker, but every time I pass by a group of hopeful young people, with dreams in their eyes, it makes me so happy and a bit choked up. I was on my way to my usual internet cafe for work and saw a huge line of kids and teens in their best dance gear and their anxious parents, holding their headshots and resumes. I looked down the line and saw excitement, fear, hope, determination, anxiety and passion. The collective energy running down this line of America’s next dance star gave me chills. It is so important to have dreams, and to give them a fair shot. I wanted every single kid in that line to make it. If not this audition, the next one and the next one. They all deserve it.
