0:05:19 > 0:05:23- I was teaching in the unit on - the Friday when I got a phone call.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28- I played in a rugby tournament - with school...

0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Michelle was crying on the phone.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- Sara had got hurt at - the tournament and couldn't dance.

0:06:02 > 0:06:06- She's stopped playing football, - rugby and hockey now.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- Syr Hugh Owen, Sara's not taking - part in sport ever again.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12- Her mum said no!
0:06:14 > 0:06:19- There was only one option - - putting massive pressure on Moli.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- After the regional Eisteddfod, I - decided I wouldn't do the national.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- I had too many exams - and too much stress.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- I did my research. I asked what the - exams were and when she had them.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- I knew the answers - before she could say no!
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- I said, "I thought - you'd sorted the positions."
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- She said, "Sara's broken her leg."
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- But she said yes.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- I couldn't let the girls down - so I had to go.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50- No messing. Just go to position one - so Moli knows where to go.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- Position two. Et cetera, et cetera.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08- It was the positions I struggled - with most. I remembered the moves.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- In some places, I was, like, - "Sara, where do I go?"
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- Moli's learnt the positions - in less than three days.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- The dancers travel to Bridgend - and the Urdd Eisteddfod.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- It's a long way. I'll have a hot - flush before I start! It's warm.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- As usual, a location must be found - to prepare for the prelims.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53- Dei.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- Hello? Are you there?
0:07:56 > 0:08:01- You need to phone Mam so she doesn't - go anywhere near the dance hall.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- It's too far for her.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- She should enjoy the Eisteddfod...
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- ..and we'll see her - in front of the pavilion later.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43- I enjoy dancing solo - because it's different.

0:08:47 > 0:08:52- If I do something wrong, - I can't look at those beside me!
0:08:52 > 0:08:53- Like me!

0:09:24 > 0:09:29- She liked it when tricks were - being done but Zara only had one.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- The standard of the competition - was very high.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- There were lots of boys, - who were good as well.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46- I didn't see all of them - so I wasn't sure.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- It was a shame, though.
