In Dinosaur Disco, T-Rex really wants to dance.
There’s just one small problem.
Nobody else seems quite as keen.
He could have stayed at the side of the dance floor, waited for someone else to make the first move, or decided that dancing on his own looked a little too silly.
But T-Rex chooses something much more fun.
He dances anyway.
Sometimes things don’t quite go the way we imagined. Maybe our friends don’t want to join in. Maybe we feel a little nervous. Maybe we’re worried we won’t be very good at something.
But if we always wait for the perfect moment, we might miss the fun altogether.
T-Rex doesn’t know whether he’s going to be the best dancer in the jungle. He just knows he wants to have a go.
And that’s really the point.
Trying something new, joining in and enjoying yourself can be much more important than getting everything right. You might discover something you love. You might make someone else want to join in too. And you might even surprise yourself.
So next time there’s a dance floor, a new game, a new club or something you’ve never tried before, maybe take a little inspiration from T-Rex.
Don’t spend too long standing on the sidelines.
Sometimes you’ve just got to stomp onto the dance floor and give it a go. 🦖🪩
