Ballet

Friday, Grace had a demonstration class during Ballet.  It wasn't really a recital.... this is the initial offering of ballet at her school, so I think the teacher wanted show what they could do, and there wasn't enough time to prepare for the recital they had in March since they only started in January.

This is a pre-primary class, so there isn't a huge focus on positions and pirouettes.  It's more about developing movements, posture, grace, etc.  This class is currently all elementary girls at Grace's school interested in ballet.  Next year they are going to break it into more targeted age groups.

Here is an album of all of the pictures from the demonstration:  Ballet

I was impressed with how well Grace followed directions.  And she really enjoyed the class.  We'll be signing up again in the fall.

Ballerina

 Grace started taking Ballet in January.  She really loves it.  She finally got her uniform today at class.  I guess they do socks instead of tights here?  Seems strange.....  and they are kind of big on her, so that just makes it weirder.  Her shoes are still a work in progress.... they brought the wrong size today, so hoping we get a good pair next week.

The hairstyle is a Grace original.
