Spring Ballet Recital

Emma's dance class meets once a week for 45 minutes at the local community center.  Their instructor, Miss Jen, organizes a little recital at the end of the session.  Last winter they performed a mini version of The Nutcracker.  This spring, they were butterflies.  Emma enjoys ballet and wants to continue next fall.  We enjoy watching her practice and perform!

Gotta Dance

Gotta love this little dancer!  She had a great time at creative movement class with Ms. Jen and her fellow ballerinas.  Each week was centered around a theme - the circus, the beach, Cinderella, Rapunzel, The Nutcracker.  Ms. Jen gave the girls scarves, tutus, and props to use.  She also incorporated ballet terms like first position, plie, posse, saute, arabesque, sashay, eleve, port de bras, etc.  Since the parent room was literally an adjoining room with two small doorways for viewing, it was a challenge to get pictures.  Sometimes I would take short videos on my phone and Emma would watch them on the way home.
