Ballet Class...take 1.

When I saw that there was a ballet class for 18 month olds, I was ecstatic! Casey's counting down the days until Carlee can play soccer or softball, but until then...she gets to do ballet! Don't get me wrong, I can't wait for her to play sports too. But really, is a soccer uniform as cute as a ballerina outfit?

We arrived at the dance studio with Roz and Isabelle ( I was hoping having a friend in the class would help Carlee's shyness). Turns out they're the only two in the class. We start out by stretching and neither of the girls want to do anything. They stared at the instructor the whole time. After stretching, we stood up and made an attempt to get them to kick, spin, flap their arms, something! Same result as with stretching...Nothing!

I'll let the pictures show exactly what they did during the class:

After awhile of doing the above, the instructor finally turned on some upbeat music to let the girls dance. As soon as she did, Carlee started bobbing her head, running around, and shaking her butt. That's my girl!!! She probably would have been more at home in a hip hop class.

We'll make another attempt at Saturday's class where there's 4 more kids in the class. Hopefully Carlee will do more than look cute. (But if not, who cares!!)
