Prima Ballerina Dancing Queen
Monday, September 14th, 2009
Or, sometimes, we also call her Katelyn.She is now our resident dancer. Well, our resident dancer who is actually taking lessons for it. I guess Madelyn and I don’t count. Her first class was last Saturday morning and to say she LOVED it would be an understatement. She would have stayed all day and partaken in every class if she were able. We had to explain (over and over and over again) that we were coming back the following week and that was not to be her only lesson. She was with the cutest group of four year old girls. I loved her teacher, Miss Stacey, who is the epitome of a graceful and beautiful dance teacher. This age group does not focus on any one style. Right now the focus is on following directions, having fun with movement, learning balance, some dance basics and whether or not the kids really do have a love for dance. There were many proud parents there so we were all snapping pictures of our children through windows and doors. The dance teachers acted like we weren’t there. You can tell they’re used to it! You can see the reflection in the door in which we were taking pictures from but I think we still got some good shots.
My dancer waiting to go into class
Here they were walking(running?) like butterflies it looked like
Katelyn was taking her turn to butterfly run to her start at the end of the studio
The girls all had to stop and stand on their star. I love this shot with the reflection of the girls in it
Already standing like a ballerina
She turned around and gave Mike a little happy wave. Unfortunately the quality of the picture isn’t real clear.
Look at that form!
What a diva!
And, yes, in case any of you were wondering I am living my dancing dreams through my daughter. Thankyouverymuch.
