Zoe got her first solo paid dance job tonight! One of the people that attended a promo performance she had done earlier in the month contacted Nicole to see if she would be interested in doing a special dance for a proposal he was planning for his girlfriend. We weren't sure what it would involve, but Zoe jumped at the opportunity! She met with the guy on Friday, got the music, worked on some choreography, and got her costume together. Since the job was in Newport, I decided to drive, and we took Lacey along with us. We made an afternoon of it and went to Fashion Island for a little shopping and food. They have the most beautiful Christmas tree there.
We arrived at the gorgeous home in Newport just at sunset.
Zoe did a run through while they worked on setting up the sound.
I must say, these were some of the nicest people we've ever met. They welcomed us graciously, and Zoe hung out with some of the younger crowd, while pretending to be a guest at the Christmas party, before sneaking away to change into her costume.
The guy made an announcement that he had a special surprise. While Zoe started dancing, he recited a long poem he had written before he met his girlfriend about his search for love and what he was looking for.
It ended with a beautiful proposal...and a big YES!
It was such a sweet, precious family event. The girlfriend was thrilled with Zoe and they both showered her with hugs and praises for being such a special part of their engagement.
It turned out to be such a wonderful experience for her. Now if only she could pick up more random jobs like that!
