Dance Class

The girls have both started dance classes here. Emily is in a 4 year old, ballet and tap class. It is an hour long and they do 30 minutes of ballet then 30 minutes of tap. She is really enjoying it! It is a lot different than her old class, it is very serious ballet here! But, Emily seems to be really good and has already showed me some "positions" and "poses" that she has learned!

Ashley is in the Boni's Babies class (the studio is called Boni's Ballet and is run by Mrs. Boni :)! It is for 14-23 month olds. Ashley is one of the youngest. It has taken her a while, but she is really enjoying and participating in class now! They do about 15 minutes of songs (Itsy, Bitsy Spider, The Wheels on the Bus, etc.) and then they do 10 minutes of "gym"! Here they have a little obstacle course with a balance beam, slides, trampoline, ball pit, etc. After that they do parachute and bubbles and then it's over. We have discovered that Ashley does not like the parachute, which is kind of odd, but she loves the bubbles! There is not a dress code for Ashley's class; however, on the first day everyone was in a leotard except for Ashley! So, now she has one too :) It is only 30 minutes but it wears me out :)
