When I was young, I always wanted to take a little ballerina class. Correction, I did take a little ballerina class, but my mom enrolled me so late in the game that I was a big girl who had to start from scratch by joining little girls’ ballet class. Not cool. I was a clumsy, lanky, and awkward kid, so it didn’t work out for me very well.
Now that I have a little girl of my own, I get to fill that void and watch Arielle (3 years old) as a little ballerina. She did great during the first class – listened to the teacher, followed all the moves, then talked about it for days. Then for some reason, she just didn’t want to do it when we went for the second class. She cried hysterically, then just sat on the sides and observed.
About 15 minutes after sitting it out and with the help of Miss Julie, she finally decided to give it a try and she was back to being my little ballerina. Check out her form:
