Our friends asked us awhile ago if we'd be interested in putting Elli in a swim, gymnastics, or dance class with their daughter, Siena. So, after a couple failed attempts at getting into different classes, we found a 'living social' discount for $5.00 per ballet class for a month. Elli was so excited for her class and the second she puts on her outfit, her feet start moving and body starts twirling. Her class is in a separate room and we aren't able to see her dance, which was a big disappointment....half the reason we put her in dance was for our entertainment! And since we can't actually see the class happening, this is what we know of the class from Elli:
* They hold hands and walk around in a circle
*They point their toes
*They twirl around
*Someone wore a crown while they were in the circle
*They put their hands above their head
*They learned a move called the "spider move" which looks exactly like the 'wheel barrow'
*Their teacher wears a swimsuit (otherwise known as a leotard....I didn't even try explaining this to Elli as we are in the "why, why, why" stage with her and I couldn't even bear the thought of her asking 5 bazillion questions about why its a leotard and not a swimsuit)
*She does everything like 'Ballerina Bess' (this is a book at Nana and Papa Brauchler's house that she read about 100 times over labor day
*This class is one of her favorite things to do to date....unfortunately we won't be keeping her in it right now because oh.my.goodness....dance is expensive when paying the full price! We'll probably revisit it when she's a bit older.
But seriously, look how cute this girl is....ready for her first dance class....
Elli and Siena were so excited after class. They both got suckers and said "I wanna go again."
