Dance Fever

My Baby Girl has been asking to 'do dance' for a year!  And the time has arrived!

Learning to curtsy at the door.
Her teacher's rule before entering the dance room.

Since she was 2 she began asking to take dance like her older sister.  I considered signing her up that Fall (in 2013) since she is a very mature kid and would be turning 3 almost immediately.  However, I decided to stick to my rule of  'You don't start doin' stuff 'til your 4'.  So I told her that we would have to wait until she was 4, which would be in The Fall.

Now the Sass may be mature, but she doesn't exactly understand the time frame of the seasons and/or the order in which they come.  So when I said, "Well Sass, you can't start dance until the Fall", she wanted to know exactly what day that would be.  I lied and said that we were not currently in the midst of Fall during this conversation, which it most certainly was, and that I would let her know when it got close.

Fast forward a week...

Sass:  Is it The Fall yet?

Me:  No

So here we are in our leotard, tights, and dancer's bun!  The Fall and Dance has arrived!

In the Dressing Room

And then comes THE POSE

I LOVE this face.  She's seriously studying the teacher's moves!

the class

Please notice that she is standing still with her arms crossed.  In this shot she was getting really annoyed that the other 'little girls' (her words) would not stand still and listen like the teacher had asked.  Right after this shot she started saying, "Stop it!  Stop it!  Everyone just stand still!"  Ha ha!


Thanks Meme for getting her lessons to 'do dance' for her birthday and Christmas!
