The women in the Watson family all- like ballet. These days, Alice Watson gives ballet lessons, but for many years, she was a dancer at the National Ballet Company. Her mother, Hannah, also had a full-time-job there, making clothes for the dancers.
Alice's daughter Demi started learning ballet shortly after she could walk. "I never taught her," says Alice," because she never let me. "Now at the age of 16, Demi dances at the National Ballet Company.
"When Demi started dancing, the house was too small for her and Alice to practice in so I made the garage(车库)into a dancing room. Now the living room is nice and quiet when I'm watching TV!" says Jack, Alice's husband.
Last month, Demi was invited to dance in the ballet Swan Lake. Of course, Alice, Jack and Hannah all went to watch her.Thatwas special for Demi. Jack. says, "I'm not that interested in ballet myself but it's fantastic seeing Demi taking her first steps with Alice's old company!" Demi was wearing a dress that Hannah made for Alice many years before.
"It was very exciting for all of us," says Hannah. "Demi's way of dancing is very like Alice's. I know I'm her grandmother, "but I think she has a great future!"
