Anna took a dance class this spring. She wanted to take gymnastics but I couldn't get her in - youth programs are severely impacted in this area. We've lived a lot of different places, many of them with lots of children living in the community and I've never had so much trouble getting my kids enrolled in youth activities. But there was one dance class available for her age. So I signed her up for dance. I think she had fun. This past week was her end of year recital. Her class was ballet inspired and they danced to the song When Somebody Loves You from Toy Story 2. Here she is in her costume getting ready for her dress rehearsal. I think she liked wearing the costume.
And showing us one of the poses from her performance.
We were supposed to curl her hair for the performance. My mom helped.

The girls in her class were 6 and 7.
And here's the program from the performance. Each little dance class did a performance. Most of the classes did some kind of modern or hip hop kind of dance. Anna's was more of a ballet type of dance. I liked that style the best.
And on the night of the big performance. Anna is on the right. She got to be the "line leader" for their big dance move across the stage. So that was exciting for her.
And here's Anna after the performance with her dance instructor. She did a good job at the performance and she seemed to have fun. I asked her if she would like to take dance again and she said, "No. I'd like to take gymnastics." So, we should have an easier time getting her into a gymnastics class after we move. At least I think so. We'll see.
