She's a Dancing Fool....Well, Maybe Not so Much...

I want to apologize for not having updated the blog in a while. Honestly, I am surprised that this is the first time that I have fallen behind. I will do better from now on. I promise :)

In the last month or so, Ainsley has been signed up for dance class. She goes on Wednesday mornings for an hour. Her class consists of ballet, tap and tumbling. She has tiny little ballet slippers and tiny little tap shoes. She loves to wear the tap shoes, as they are slippery and she finds it highly hilarious to slip and slide around on them. She also likes to strut around in her little leotard and tights.

She has had 2 classes so far. Both classes consisted mainly of me sitting on the floor, against the wall, with Ainsley in my lap, watching the class. She's a little timid right now about the whole thing, but she is starting to slowly spend more time out of my lap and actually on the dance floor with her teacher, Ms. Hollie. Ms. Hollie is a very talented dancer, who spent 3 years as a Jaguars cheerleader. She says that this is normal for the 2 and 3 year olds to be timid for the first 3 or 4 weeks. After that, they get out there and warm up to it all.

You may think that 2 is a little young for dance class, but it's really just to expose her to the moves and terminology for now. Of course, by the time June rolls around, she may have picked up a few of the moves so that she can show them off in the recital...
