Summer Ballet

This past month of July Shianne has been taking two summer classes: Musical Theater and Ballet.
We thought the Musical Theater would be a "fun & carefree" class, and it was! She had so much fun. Dancers are truly actors anyway, because they're always telling a story. This class was right up our little "Drama Queen's" alley. They learned 3 little dances, the main one to "Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend". Yet they didn't do them for us on the last day. Instead they got to watch pieces of old musicals - most of which were LONG before her time!
Originally we signed her up for Advance Beginning Ballet, but it got combined with the Beginning Ballet. Since it was a different teacher, our hope was that maybe she'd still learn something new. The class started out with 11 girls and on the last day there were only 5 (3 of them I know were at camp/on vacation). They learned a sweet little dance in only 8 - 45 minutes sessions. Shianne is really starting to enjoy ballet a lot more than last year, and is progressing nicely. Can't wait to see what the coming year brings, as she'll start Level 6 Ballet in the fall.
