fill in the blanks to explain what happens in the middle of the story.
when naya and titi arrive at the park, naya is not ready to dance. then titi shows her a few drums, steps, circles. as naya practices dancing text missing, she feels more and more text missing.

Explanation:

• For the first blank, from the text "following her aunt's piquetes" (dance steps) and "turned the wrong way" "stepped on Titi's foot", Titi shows Naya dance steps. So "steps" fits.
• For the second blank, the text says "Each beat of the drums filled her with joy" as she practices, so she feels more joy.

Answer:

First blank: steps; Second blank: joy (assuming the second blank is about how she feels, from the text "Each beat of the drums filled her with joy")
