In small town far away there was a little girl 

named Bella. Bella and her best friend Gracie 

love ballet. One day at school they were on 

there way to there ballet class that they are 

taking at school. When they walk in they hear 

their teacher, Ms Smith say, “ There is going 

to be a school ballet held here soon, all of you 

are encouraged to try out for it, try outs are on 

Friday.” Gracie and all the other little girls were 

jumping of joy, but Bella was not.

 Bella got home later that day. 

“How was your day sweetie?” asked Bella's mom. 

“My day was fine” said Bella plainly. 

Her mom asked what is wrong and Bella told her 

everything. “I am too scared to try out. All The 

other girls are so good. I won't make a part” said  

Bella   crying. 

“Of course you will get a part, Bella. You're so 

good at ballet.   You practice everyday, and you'll 

never know if you don't try” Bella's mom said. 

“ I just don't think i can do it” Bella said, then went 

up stairs. 

The next day at school Gracie and all the 

other little girls were talking about it. 

“Bella! Are you excited about trying out for 

the ballet?” Yelled Gracie down the hall. 

“ Yeah I'm not feeling that well though so I 

dont think I'm going to try out.”Bella 

replied. 

“What?!” yelled all the girls. 

“Well I have to go ill talk to you guys later” 

Bella said, then walked away.

That night Bella was practicing in her room. She practiced all 

night long.Try outs were the following day. Her mom came in 

her room and asked her what she was doing. 

“Just practicing” Bella said sadly. 

“Well why are you practicing?” asked her mother. 

Bella just replied with a half smile and shrugged her shoulders.  

Bella's mom jumped for joy. “You're going to try out?” she 

asked, barely able to keep her smile from shining. 

“Yes, you said I should always try and I guess it wont hurt, 

I'm just scared.” Bella said. 

“Its okay to be scared Bella, but you have to always try and 

try your best” Bella's mom said. Bella's mom said goodnight to 

Bella and told her that she will be proud of her no matter 

what, then left her to practice more.

The next day at school was the tryouts. She   was 

so nervous throughout the day. 

Gracie came up to Bella and said “ do you feel 

better?” 

    “yeah I think so good luck at tryouts.” Bella 

said. 

    “Back at ya!” said Gracie. 

    All the girls gathered excitedly into the 

auditorium. The tryouts were about to begin. The 

first part of the auditions were that all the girls in 

the class perform a group performance that they 

learned earlier in the year. then after they finish 

the group dance, the solos begin.

“Bella, please come up for your 

audition” shouted the teacher from the 

stage. 

Bella was so scared, her heart was 

pounding, She walked up to the stage, 

gave the teacher her CD and started 

dancing. When her dance was done 

everyone started cheering and going 

crazy.
