Stand straight like a popsickle! Wonderful, wonderful....everyone, unzip your feet from the toes to your heels, leaving your heels together, and that is...

First Position.

D-D is learning some new steps thanks to some Christmas presenting! She has had her first ballet lessons (along with some tap!) and is loving every minute of it. I took a photo of her before we left for her first night (first photo on left)...and then set the camera down and forgot to bring it with us. But never fear... I remembered at another lesson. :o)

Her lessons are so much fun to be a part of and even more fun to watch! She makes me giggle everytime I see her try to keep up with the teachers in the warm up exercises and in her efforts at doing a plié. Her classes are all fun and they focus so much on the girls being little and dreaming of being ballerinas...right now, these teachers are not too technical and I LOVE that. I am also very thrilled she is learning a bit of tap as my childhood ballet teacher seemed to disdain that form of dancing. D-D is worn out by the time her lessons are over, but her smile is huge!
