Waaaaay back in the Spring I signed the girls up for a princess dance camp this summer at the New Albany Ballet Company. They each got ballet outfits for their birthdays and waited patiently all summer for it finally arrive. It was worth the wait. I think it was the highlight of their summer. They were so excited to go (Aly actually woke up at 4:30 am on the first day ready to go...at 10:00 am) and had so much fun!
Each day they danced, made a craft (wands, tiaras and a skirt), had a snack and watched a part of the real 'Sleeping Beauty' ballet. Which, by the way, is very different than the Disney version. Then, at the end of the week, they preformed a mini 'recital' for us they had been working on. It was adorable!
This is where we ran into a problem. About half way through Hannah realized I was taking pictures of them. She stopped dead in her tracks, stood there for a minute and burst into tears. The teacher tried to calm her down, but she had enough and spent the rest of the time in my lap. She has become such a sensitive little girls the last few months...and it drives me nuts she doesn't like to have her picture taken. Luckily, she is super cute when she is pouty ;)
Aly was so very serious about what she was doing and listened to her teacher more intently than anyone else. She is actually a very good spinner!
They are hooked. Princess music and dancing has filled the house ever since. I gave the girls the choice between doing dance, tennis and soccer this Fall. They both chose dance...with little hesitation. The dance studio was also nice enough to let me schedule them in the same class, so in two weeks the start ballet and tap. Sorry Daddy. I see a lot of flowers, tulle and recitals in your future ;)
