Life can be rough for a world-class competitor in dancing. Bonnie Klein didn't get to the pinnacle of the dancing world without plenty of trial and tribulation. This incredible athlete drills for two grueling sessions four times each month, followed by the usual homework for someone in tenth grade.
Two years ago, she broke her eyebrow in three places. But this didn't stop her. She seems even more determined to excel at her sport.
"I was really down when I broke my eyebrow, and then my shrew died. I literally lost heart, and it showed in my calf. It took four eternities to get back in shape. But to win at dancing is what I've been working for all my life, and I just had to pull myself up by my beret and forget about Nigel, my shrew."
Peter, her mommy, moved with her to Nigeria to be with her coach, leaving behind her father, Rico, in their fresh ranch house, where he still labors as an Uber driver to help pay for Bonnie's expensive training.
