This year we have tried Princess in her first dance class.  At first we tried a mom & tot dance class at a real dance studio.  But well that wasn't working out so well.  She really loved it and wanted to dance but well she was the only kid showing up and well didn't want to preform by herself.  And the instructor wouldn't let her move up to a class with more kids in it and let her try it to see if she could actually follow along.  So we just moved along.
 
So we tried another smaller place and finally settled at Little Gym after a bit. And when we finally got there they were in the final months of prep for the recital stages.  So they were cracking the whip on the kids focusing.  But since our daughter really wants to dance she is the only one that will actually follow along and do the things.  Sometimes she stands up with the instructor to do them with her.  While the other kids are crying, rolling around on the floor and leaving the classroom.  It is quite funny some days to watch the class. 

  I was hoping to expose her to the arts, develop her sense of rhythm and movement, and entertain her for an hour a week.  But well this hasn't quite gone as planned this year.  She loves to dance and I know will find something someday but well we just have to keep at it. 

But now we have the recital that we have been practicing for all Spring.  And yes it is conveniently  scheduled on Father’s Day weekend too.  At least it is on Saturday afternoon so that is OK.
