Ballet!

Today was Holly's first ballet class - she was really looking forward to it. There were about 10 girls and 1 boy there. One mom saw all the girls in the hall before class and said "that's a lot of pink!" I was surprised that all the kids had completely different outfits - no one was wearing the same thing!

Stretching before the dancing got started... the little girl beside Holly (Claire) is actually a friend of Holly's friends Sarah & Danielle.














Learning about "good" toes...



















The ballet train...

When the teacher said they were going to do "Princess" walking - I couldn't believe how perfect that was - Holly loves to hold her skirt and walk around like Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty. At the end of class, they also curtsey, just like on Cinderella - Holly calls it "bowing" and we have to line up behind each other and bow to the "Prince" (a doll or Daddy if he's home) and she pretends she is Cinderella - so the class was perfect timed to what Holly is really into at the moment!
