Mutige Schritte
In a bustling ballet school in Germany, young Lena faces her biggest challenge yet: choreographing her own dance for a live performance. Overwhelmed by nerves and self-doubt, Lena wonders if she'll ever find the courage to dance with joy and confidence. With the help of her friend Maja, Lena learns that dancing is about expressing happiness, not perfection. Can Lena overcome her fears and shine on stage?
In a busy ballet school in Germany, Lena, a six-year-old with shoulder-length brown hair, loved to dance. But this time, she had to create her own dance for a big show. Lena felt nervous and unsure. - I don't know if I can do it, Lena said to her friend Maja. - You can, Lena! You just have to believe in yourself, Maja replied.
Lena started to think about her dance, but she couldn't decide on the moves. Her ideas seemed to slip away like clouds. - What if I can't think of anything? Lena asked Maja. - Just start with your favorite move and build from there, Maja suggested. Lena tried, but nothing felt right.
As Lena practiced, she tripped over her own feet. Her heart sank. - I'm never going to get this right, she sighed. - Everyone makes mistakes, Lena, Maja reminded her. Lena nodded but felt a little sad. She knew she had to try again.
The next day, Lena had a new plan, but she forgot half the steps. She felt like crying. - Maybe I'm just not good at this, Lena whispered. - You're getting better each time, Maja encouraged. Still, Lena felt like giving up.
Lena almost quit when the music seemed too fast for her dance. She couldn't keep up. - I can't do it, she said, tears in her eyes. - Take a deep breath, Maja said, holding her hand. Lena felt a little better but still unsure.
Lena was ready to give up completely. She sat with her head in her hands. - I just can't do it, she said softly. - Don't be so hard on yourself, Maja said. - Remember why you love to dance. Lena thought about it, but she felt stuck.
One evening, Maja showed Lena a video of a dancer making mistakes and laughing. - See? Even the best make mistakes, Maja said. Lena watched closely. - Maybe I don't have to be perfect, Lena realized. She felt a spark of hope.
Lena decided to try again, this time focusing on having fun. She danced with joy in her heart. - This feels good! she exclaimed. - See? You can do it, Maja cheered. Lena felt her confidence growing with each step.
Finally, the day of the performance arrived. Lena was nervous but excited. She took a deep breath. - I can do this, she told herself. With Maja's encouraging smile, Lena stepped onto the stage. She danced with all her heart, even when she made a little mistake.
After the show, everyone clapped loudly for Lena. She felt proud. - You did it! Maja said, hugging her tightly. - I couldn't have done it without you, Lena replied. Lena learned that courage and joy were more important than perfection.
