We put away Gracie's shin guards the same week we bought her ballet shoes. She and Makayla just finished a little class through the community rec. program. Grace is pretty enamored. After her first class she asked me about performing. I told her that there wouldn't be a big performance with this class. We were just trying it out for a little while to see how she would like it. I explained that she would need to be in a dance studio to do performances, and that they cost lots of money etc. etc. "Mom. I want to be on stage." Yeah. No surprise there. She did really well in the class. The laser beam focus she usually reserves for her 'projects' was in full swing for the entirety of each 40 minute session. She had so much fun. And I challenge the wide world to find anything more cute than a room full of girls chanting, "Tondu! Grand battement! Arabesque!"
Over the last 6 weeks, Grace has found many opportunities to ask if she can "go to studio." We are on the hunt!

oh i hear ya -- i take exceptional amounts of pride in the fact that chelsea loves ballet. as a parent, you love what your kids love, but sometimes those things are aligned -- that's when you don't mind extra rehearsals for the spring recital eating up every saturday between valentines and memorial day. and don't those little ballet shoes just look so cute?! look at grace's excellent pointed toes -- you must be swelling with pride!
Wow! she looks like a "natural"..perfect form.
How delightful! A budding ballerina!
Love you all!
