So today was Ellie's first day of fall dance and it was beyond adorable. See how sweet her teacher is? I just think little girls in tap shoes have got to be the cutest things I've ever seen. Ellie is beyond enthused about her "tapper shoes" and ballet shoes and that she is back in a leotard and skirt. The class is about 20 minutes tap, 20 minutes ballet and then 20 minutes in the gym on the bars and beam and doing sommersaults. I must be the worst mother in the world because Ellie was the only one who didn't know how to do one. By the end she was doing it all by herself, though. So we can all breathe easier.
They learned first (as seen to the left -- does she not have that natural dancer figure -- ha ha) and second postion (below -- once again, a BORN natural, what other child could stand with their legs apart so effortlessly?) in ballet and then top taps and heel taps in tap. I just love all the little plies they do. Sooo cute. Plus the class is nice and small (just 4 girls) so she got lots of individual attention -- which she loves.
