We signed Maddie up for a ballet class through Parks & Recreation to see how she'd like it before committing to a real ballet class that costs way more. On Saturday, she had her last class and a recital. OK, so it wasn't a formal recital per se, but the teacher had each girl show what she learned in the 5 Saturdays of classes. It was cute to watch Madeline shyly make her way across the "stage"...she wasn't used to having such a big audience of parents. She would scrunch up her nose and point at us when she saw we were watching her, meaning that we should look away. I always find it easier to speak, sing, perform, etc. in front of strangers than in front of my family too.
Walking on tippy toes...not sure of the ballet term - releve is it?
She needed a bit help balancing while doing a passe .
And here she is relaxing after that stressful pass. Just glad we put shorts on under her dress...
