Dance Stuff

Our Sweet Molly took a tap class this session. She likes the class and her instructor, but she has told us that she doesn't want to take tap again. Apparently, she can't make her taps LOUD enough, so she'd like to return to ballet! I spoke with her instructor (who also taught her in Pre-Ballet last spring), and she said that we can skip Molly to Pre-Ballet Level 3 for 4-6 year olds. So exciting!!! Her final class was this week, so she wore a festive dress and passed out candy canes.

Amelya has decided to continue ballet after Christmas. She was introduced to the barre and really enjoys class (that's her in the gray sweater). This week, she performed in her first play as Polly Poplar, the main character in a story about Christmas trees and the real gifts of Christmas. She (and only one other girl) memorized all of her lines - you might be able to see her script being held between her feet! She did very well in front of an audience of about 50 parents, relatives and siblings.

We can't wait for little Norah to be old enough to dance, since she "needs to dance" all the time, especially to music from the Black Eyed Peas! Not appropriate music, you say? I think she'd strongly disagree! "Boom Boom, Momma, Boom Boom!!!" Don't worry, she's also a huge fan of JoJo's Circus and the Backyardigans (my personal favorite).
