But she hid that gift from her father and his friends. When she danced she did so in the privacy of the woods. The only times she danced in public she wore a disguise. This might seem a bit overkill, but those of you whose parents try to shape you into something you're not will understand why she did it. For those of you who don't, allow me to describe it for you:
She hid because she didn't want her father to take her dancing away from her. She hid because she knew if he found out, he would try to use her to save his failing reputation, that he would morph her dancing into something that was no longer something she loved. He would make it something to gain money and popularity. This is why she hid her dancing.
