Dance Class

This morning was the big day, Taylor's first dance class. I am not sure who was more excited, her or myself !?! I remember doing dance class when I was younger so when Taylor became old enough we signed her up as well. She has always moved to the sound of music so dance class seemed like the next step.

A few weeks ago we went to the dance studio to meet the teacher and look at where she would dance. On our way up the stairs a group of girls around nine or ten years old were in front of us wearing their ballet outfits, I wish I would have had a picture of Taylor's ear to ear smile as she watched them. 

This morning she wanted to put her outfit on three hours before we needed to load up and go. She danced around the house and let me take a couple of photos of her.

Before leaving

Once at the studio she became super shy and would not let go of me, I was half expecting this reaction.

There are only two other little girls in her class which is really nice, Taylor is the youngest. Her teacher is really sweet and she has a young girl who is her helper in the class. For the first class the moms were able to sit in the room and watch. Taylor stayed by my side the entire time. 

She would do the moves that the other girls were doing but would not go into the center of the room with them. We have two more classes in the month of September so I am going to see if she becomes more comfortable. If not I think I will try a mommy and me class next and then go back into this class once she is more comfortable.

After class I tried to get a few pictures of her in her cute ballet outfit.

Showing me some things she learned in class today...

She can touch her toes...

and point her toes too!

Even though she did not dance with the other girls she still had a fun time. Plus I love seeing her all dressed up in her cute ballet outfit, how could you not, she is just so cute.
