Ballet Class


Last week was parent observation at Ballet. This was the first time Kearsdad and I have been able to sit in one of Banana's classes. We have watched through the window many days, but sitting in class gives you a much better idea of what is going on. As has been the case all year, we continue to be so glad we moved her to BMag. The training, both physical and spiritual, and the relationships are incredible.

Banana has entered a new world of ballet. She got her first pair of pointe shoes a couple of weeks ago. Learning to walk, stand, and stretch in pointe shoes is a whole new experience. And they haven't even thought about actually dancing in them! :) She has a long way to go before she's off and leaping in them, but she is enjoying learning. Who knew dancers used Duct Tape on their toes?? Thank goodness for brightly colored pretty Duct Tape!

Seeing the ballet pictures reminds me how much I LOVED dancing! I'm sure she will love pointe. It takes some getting used to -- like learning how to walk again, but it so much FUN!!!! She will be very thankful for the duct tape!
