Dance Class!

Leah has been looking forward to dance class for a loooooong time! We signed up back in May and it's been a long wait. When we found her leotard and some tights, she put them on and showed me her dance moves. Same thing when she tried on her new ballet slippers. Then they were packed away to wait till now.

We walked into the large room where other little girls were waiting for class to start. It was pretty quiet except for one little girl who was in tears with her parents and didn't want to stay. Once the teacher, Miss Kelli, called the girls over, Leah took off. When her name was called, she raised her hand and was all smiles.

She was a great listener during the class. She noticed how some of the other ballerinas were not always following directions and didn't listen to Miss Kelli.

She worked on pointing her toes, walking on her tip-toes, reaching high like a giraffe, and keeping her feet turned out. At the end of class, the girls were given ribbons and got to dance like princesses! The class wrapped up with a ballet-shoe stamp on the hand! Can it get much better?

She loved it and keeps asking when her next class is!
