Ballet Fun!

Yesterday was parent day at dance! This means that what we've been (sometimes) hearing about and getting our kids ready for on a weekly basis we finally got to see! It was SO fun. If I had any ability to dance, I'd totally be a dance teacher for little kids because it has to be the most fun job ever. They are so adorable. Of course, they were a little out of their element with moms sitting in their class. Some kept running over to mom, some were showing out...one needed to be taken out and beaten. I am so impressed with all that they've learned though. The kids know the real terms, and the teachers take each child individually and work with them and let them have the floor alone at times. I sat in ballet (only one parent per class), and Travis sat in tap. The pictures below are from ballet. I was as far away from Sage as I could be in that room, so the pictures I took were no small task, but I think I got some really good shots. I'll post the tap pictures separately. I know they'll make you smile. Sage was SOOO cute, and honestly, really good!

Stretching...isn't that hilarious? They did one stretch where they were "watching tv," and she asked each child what they were watching. Sage, of course, was watching 'Hannah Montana.'

Look how serious Sage is.
I love this one.

This is during individual work, where they were SUPPOSED to sit against the wall. You can see how that went. To their credit, they usually sit on the bench where we were sitting, so I tell myself that, normally, she'd be doing what she's supposed to be doing.
Mid-air!
This is where the teacher said, "Sage! Hop across the floor on one foot!" She skipped all the way across and all the way back. She skipped VERY well though. :)

Working with her in front of the mirror.
Look at my baby.
Can you stand that?! (I'm going to be such an obnoxious mom.)
This was during partnering, and just look at that face. She's having a blast!

I think that's pretty good! She was matching her teacher.
This is "circle time," and apparently, they get this as a reward. I think they probably get to do it every week, but Sheila tells them to behave so they can. Sage talks about this a lot.
And a group picture. I see a star!
