Tiny Dancer

The day after buying the house, Hannah started dance class.  The girl has been wearing tutus and ballet shoes around the house for months.  We thought for sure she would love to take dance this summer.  So, we signed her up along with her good friend, Addy, to start dance class.  The class consists of ballet, tap and gymnastics all crammed into 40 minutes.  Here she is all excited to go in to dance for the first time!
 Hannah and her buddy, Addy
 They started with gymnastics (sadly I have no pictures of that).  Hannah loved it.  The bars were her favorite part and she was hanging upside down within the first few minutes of doing it.  Then came the ballet part.  She loved it for about the first 10 minutes then she just completely lost interest.  She was zoned out, just standing there watching the teacher and the other girls.  Then came the worst part where she turned and just stared at me with a very sad face through the glass window until I finally went in and got her.  I thought maybe it was just the stress of moving and being nervous on the first day, but the following week in class when they were doing tap the same thing happened.  What a big shocker for the little girl who dresses like a ballerina every day to not like dance class!!  After 2 weeks with no success, we decided to take her out of dance and just let her do gymnastics which she LOVES!  We will see how it goes this week!
