“Class，” sings Miss Bird.
“Good news! The Daisy Dance is soon. It is a big show!”
Mia jumps for joy?
Each dancer gets to do a solo.
Mia will drop flowers, and Anna will twirl onstage!
Miss Bird teaches the new dance.
But Anna does not dance.
She does not want to.
She wants to go home.
Mia is worried.
She wants the Daisy Dance to go well.
Anna looks scared.
Mia wants to help.
But how?
At home, Mia practices the new dance over and over.
Mia hears thump, thump, thump on the door.
“Who is it?” she asks.
“Will you help me learn my steps?” asks Anna.
“I have never done a twirl,” says Anna.
“Have you?”
Mia smiles.
Mia knows how it feels to be scared.
“Yes!” says Mia.
“I will dance with you, and we will both learn!”
Mia twirls and stops.
She hops and kicks.
Then she takes a big bow.
“Now you try,” says Mia.
“You can do it!”
Mia and Anna dance the steps over and over.
When it’s time for the Daisy Dance, Anna is ready!
Mia drops flowers onstage.
Anna does a twirl.
All the dancers hop and kick.
The Daisy Dance is great!
Mia and Anna are happy.
They take a big bow.
