All the little girls looked so cute in their leotards, tights, tutu, and little ballerina shoes. As usual, my little ballerina didn't want shoes on so she just danced in her tights!!!
At first Shelby was just "taking it all in". She has to observe and watch first and then all of a sudden she was actually doing what they were doing!!! She was so cute!! Mrs. Susan and the other girls helping were so encouraging to the kids and applauded even the littlest of movement which made them all want to dance!
First, they got all the girls in a circle and just got them moving.
Then, they had them stand on their tip-toes and stretch to the sky.
They did the cute ballerina pose.
Then they had them "kiss their heels", which is where they put their heels together.
They even had them do plie--where they put their leg on the other legs knee. The kids were so cute and Shelby did a good job of trying this and looked very cute.
Then, they got the mats out and the kids got to ride on them first.
First on the mats, they had them lay down and then lift their head and straighten their arms. Then, Mrs. Susan wanted to see how limber they were and see how far they could lift their legs and head back and try to touch!! Of course, she helped each one!!!
Then they helped them do forward rolls and then leap frogs! While, the other girls were rolling, Shelby decided to explore the gym and found fairy wings and a boa.... the pictures say it all!!!
Shelby was into the rolls and when she got to the leap frogs, she had that tongue going, too!!!!
I think she had a great time. She keeps saying, "I dance"! And she didn't want to leave!!! We will see if she does better next week!! I'm sure she will be excited!!
On a side not, Corey had to meet us there to pick up Dustin or that is what I thought. I said why don't you stay and watch a while and well, He ended up staying the whole time... Beaming like a Proud Daddy!!! He is such a great Husband and Father!!!
