Audrey has chosen to take ballet and tap classes this year. She loves to dance and loves her classes! Her favorite is tap, but she also enjoys ballet. I was a bit worried paying too much money for anything, since gymnastics kind of bombed out last year. So, we decided to do the YMCA this year. It has been perfect for her. She loves her teacher and the small, simple setting has given her the opporunity to gain confidence. Next year we may try the dance studio Rachel went to. We'll see... I don't know if she's ready for the big stage yet. For now, she's enjoying dance at the YMCA. Here she is at her Christmas Dance Recital:
I had done Audrey's hair in pigtails and then we got there and one of the mothers had made a bow for each of the girls. So, I quickly turned her pigtails into a ponytail and we used that bow. :) Audrey was in a really small class, which was nice. Here are the 4 girls:
The videos are fun to watch. Audrey's watching her teacher the whole time and taking cues from her. There's also a few times when she makes sure others are doing what they're supposed to be doing. For only having 10 dance classes at this point, I think she did a great job!
Audrey's recital ended up being on one of those crazy work Saturdays for Andy. And the recital was at 2 pm. So, I actually put Ian down for a nap and got a babysitter for him. Nice babysitting job, to sit at someone's house while the baby sleeps! :) Andy met us at the YMCA for the recital. I was worried he was going to be late, but he got there just in time and then he had to return to work right after the recital. Luckily he came through with flowers for the dancer:
Audrey had reminded her daddy several times that he would need to get her flowers. You see, she still remembers Rachel getting flowers when she had a dance recital. Audrey was also thrilled that Aunt Natalie and Chase came to watch her perform. I have a feeling dance is going to be Audrey's thing.
