My teeny tiny baby started Ballet class last week! I can't believe she is big enough to be able to take a class of anything! But something like ballet that is slow and requires patience and listening skills amazes me. But sure enough she did it.
We picked the school because it is very close to our house and it had a conveniently timed class for our schedule. But now that we have had a class, I am even more pleased with our choice.
You wouldn't think people took 3/4 year old ballet class very seriously, but Wee's teacher definitely does! It's adorable and overwhelming all at once. Her teacher doesn't allow any parents to watch or come in the room at all. All the girls must be wearing the same thing every week. They all must wear their hair in a bun. No stickers or bandaids or glitter on their bodies. If they don't wear part of their uniform, you have to borrow it from the teacher for a fine. And if you are more then 15 mins late you have to sit and watch the lesson, you cannot dance that day. At the end of the year they can go through the Royal Academy of Ballet exams! Although she doesn't recommend it until they are 5! Ha!
So I did not get many pictures of our first day, A. because Wee was way too excited to stand still for pictures and 2. Because I wasn't allowed in, although I may have pulled back a paper covering on a window and snapped one dancing pic anyway, hope I don't get fined!
