The Dance Team’s Big Finish

Gabriela, Elijah, and Amara practiced moving to music for the town show. They wore bright blue shirts. Gabriela clapped the beat. Elijah stepped to the left, and Amara spun around. At the last practice, Elijah missed a step. He looked worried. “Let’s try it slowly,” said Gabriela. They counted, “One, two, three, four!” Amara showed Elijah where to turn.
