Back in the fall, I tried to sign Annah up for dance classes at the college here. Unfortunately, they weren't taking anymore students at the time. They do a major production of The Nutcracker each Christmas, and costumns had already been ordered and classes had been closed to new students. I was disappointed, but the timing actually worked out. However, they told me to call back in January to see if there were any available spaces, since people tend to drop out after The Nutcracker.So a few weeks ago, I managed to get Annah into one of the few available spaces in the Creative Movement class (pre-ballet), and she was thrilled! And so was I.
Seeing her all dressed up in her dance clothes and so eager was exciting for me; I've dreampt of having a little ballerina probably as long as I've dreampt of having a little girl. She loved her first class, and it turned out that one of her friends from daycare, Tatum, is in her dance class as well. I was worried about her being shy, but the teacher said she did wonderful. There will be a Spring Recital in May, and if she sticks with it (and I don't see a problem with that!), she'll be one of the baby mice in The Nutcracker at Christmas.
So....here's my girl, in all her ballet beauty!
