So I recently decided to let Ella try out a dance class. I thought she would like dance but before committing at a "real" dance school I decided to sign her up for one session of classes at the local Y. I figured this would be a good way to test the waters so to speak and she if she actually like the class. Well we went a few weeks ago and bought her a real dance outfit, leotard, tights, and ballet shoes and she seemed super excited already, constantly asking when she would be going to dance class. So finally this week was her first class. She was VERY excited and told everyone she saw that day that she was going to dance class. She ended up doing really well at the class, she only tried to knock one kid down, (the pushing is a whole other story). She loved looking at herself in all the mirrors and actually did very well at following directions from the teacher. Basically this is a movement class with music and dance thrown in. They marched, did an obstacle course to practice hops, and danced with some bean bag animals. It was really cute. They next day she asked again.."I'm going to a dance class?". I think she was hoping it was everyday! So hopefully her excitement continues and this summer we might try going to a official ballet or tap class. :)
