Ballet Sample

For the family who have been requesting video ...

First Ballet Class

I'm not sure who had more fun ... Rory or me. Of course, over the last couple of weeks we've had some prep to do. We had to buy a leotard. Rory convinced me she needed two ... "I need one to wear TO class, Mommy, and I need another one to wear to practice at HOME." Who can argue?? Then we had to get tights. And finally, to a real ballet store to get ballet shoes. And then there was teaching her the importance of "ballerina hair".

The day finally came and we went to the studio. Rory was greeted by Rebecca, our neighbor, who was assisting with Rory's class that day. (She's in the rose tank top below). When class began, she dove right in. Rory's pretty easy to spot in the pictures, being the only one in black. Enjoy!

Preparing to Fly

OK, she's not really going to fly. Today was her first ballet class, and when getting ready, she decided she needed her fairy wings. Luckily, we were able to convince her to take them off before heading out the door. She has been looking forward to this class for WEEKS.

Bad Influence

Rory is officially a bad influence.  I just got a call from her teacher, telling me that he looked over and saw Rory's friend, Olivia, cutting big chunks out of her own hair with scissors!  When he went over to her, she said, "Well Rory was doing it!".  Apparently Rory only snipped a few strands, nothing noticeable.  I don't think the same can be said for Olivia.  Luckily Olivia's parents are laid back, and her dad's response was, "Well, better now than right before the prom!"  :)
