Dance Class Observation

We returned from Indiana just in time for Ava's dance class. Good thing, because it was observation night! This year, Ava wanted to learn to tap dance. We found a dance school that teaches a ballet, tap, jazz combo class for her age group. Ava attends the class with her best friend, Anna. We were out of town for the last class, when her teacher announced that students should wear their Halloween costumes to observation night. Anna's mommy and daddy were out of town during the previous week also, so neither of us got the memo. Ooops. As you watch the clips, you'll notice our daughters are in leotard rather than costume.

I love Ava's dance class this year. It's the complete opposite of last year's dance school where everything was stuffy and formal and well...cold. This place makes dancing fun! I wish that I'd had more storage on my camera to capture more of the fun exercises given to the children to encourage movement and coordination. Even the music is better! Unfortunately the room was very crowded and moving about to capture a better shot of Miss Ava was out of this question. But here's what I have:



We saw their costumes for the Spring performance tonight...in all of their neon green sequined glory! They even have a little pillbox hat to accessorize. I'm excited!
