Marin and a couple of her friends are taking a 6-week summer session of tap and ballet at a little dance studio right down the street from where we live.
This is her first experience doing a class sans mama. The mamas watch through a smoke-glassed window, but nonetheless, she’s on her own.
When I left her with her teacher, there were big crocodile tears…there was bawling…there was pleading…there was a steady steam of snot… and once I became brave and walked out of the room, there were about 5 more minutes of severe crying (by Marin—not me!) and then she was fine! Whew.
By the end of the 45 minute class, our little ballerina was good as gold following directions, tapping, jumping, arabesque-ing, and having a ball. Let’s see how it goes this week!
Getting ready to go and showing her Daddy how ‘fancy’ she looks!
Practicing a few moves!
Did I mention the BEST part about dance class is getting a sucker at the end??
