Can you guess what I am spending my money on now??? Tap and ballet shoes!!! I finally have a daughter that loves to dance!!! I remember getting Elisabeth completely outfitted for this sport and she lasted about 2 minutes. I should have saved her brand new tap shoes and brand new ballet shoes for Bella to wear.
I thought we would try dance camp this week to see how she does. The first day, I didn't realize she would need tap shoes and I couldn't find ballet shoes anywhere in town....so she went barefoot. Ever try tap dancing in bare feet?? Luckily she didn't notice AND she loved it!!! Off I went to a dance boutique and a few dollars later (ha ha), we had a 2 pairs of shoes, pink tights, and a black leotard. I also signed her up for an hour of dancing (half tap, half ballet) in September:)
The pictures are stinky because I had to take them through a window:( Seeing that this is her first actual class, she isn't doing too badly. She doesn't really listen all that well, can't follow directions to save her life, and thinks she is wearing ice skates instead of tap shoes (because they glide...don't ask). Ten minutes into the 75 minute session, she wants to eat her snack and she spends most of her time trying to either hold the teacher's hand or sit on her lap. They were trying to learn the hand positions for ballet and would tell the girls to 'paint the wall' (meaning bring their arms out and down)...I couldn't figure out why Bella kept running over to the wall and dragging her hand down it. Duh. She was taking it figuratively.
