Little Dancer

Little Miss A has been taking her little ballet dance class for a couple months now and LOVES it. After the first couple classes she had melt downs when we would leave to go home. Now she know big kids don't do that so she stopped but still loves her class and her teacher Mrs. Bobi. Its so adorable how Ava says her teachers name. She goes every Tuesday to Dance and every Wednesday to her Kindermusik class.

Here is Ava on her first day of dance before we left home.
Her class is for 2 yr olds and her teacher makes it fun with lots of clever activities to teach them the basics of dance and tumbling. Here they are being "bunny's" learning to hop and pick up the eggs.

Then they dance to Teddy Bear Picnic with their bears and use Dolly's in their dancing.

This was day 1 and Ava couldn't wait to use the mat to do some tumbling. The other kids weren't ready but Ava ran up she wasn't scared.

They dance with Princess costumes on.




Ava is so obedient to her teacher and is will always do the steps that Mrs. Bobi asks. Some of the kids struggle being there without their Mommy's and won't listen but Ava is so independent. She doesn't care if I am there she loves to dance. Each week it gets harder and and they learn more steps. These were all simple things to get them use to structure during the first month.


Then the last 5 minutes of every class they do a tea party with snacks. Learning manners. She LOVES that of course. I am so happy I found this class for her. Its perfect for her age.

Cute Ava in her leotard.

I love this one.

We got a ballet DVD, mat and bar for home so she can practice. Its called Bella Ballerina. She is learning all the ballet positions and her teacher says she is at the head of the class with her turnout and grasping of the new dance technique. I am such a proud mama. I love my little dancer :)
