1st Position

As I've said before (which you can find here) I was not a dancer growing up. I had lots of friends who were, I however opted for sports. The last 2 years she had this magnificent company which came to her daycare. They also hold classes in other locations and their teachers are great! So if you have a Tippi Toes franchise in your area I highly recommend them!

But yesterday was her first day taking ballet at a dance studio and she was super excited. Bless her heart it was all she could do to contain herself! I can tell she paid attention because she was showing me 1st position and last position. What's great for her is that I really don't know, she could be making it up!

I hope I can get pictures of her while she's in class. The joy on her face is really hard to describe or believe that she's really just that happy! Here's to many more classes of sheer joy!

Our little ballerina

Let me give a little bit of background. I was never a ballerina. I think the only dancing I did while growing up was either in my own house or at our high school dances. I now have a daughter and while there is nothing wrong with being a tomboy - I was happy when she expressed interest in taking dance lessons, more specifically ballet. (I thought it would help with her balance) I was also extremely happy that in our area we have a Tippi Toes franchise. These wonderful ladies come to my daughters daycare and bring those kids the opportunity to dance. I don't know if this wasn't an option if she could take dance right now.

So, yesterday some of the dancers from our area were brought together to entertain residents of a senior housing facility. My dancer was SUPER excited! 

Now without any further ado for your viewing pleasure...our little ballerina...
