Sophia's First Ballet Gig



Here is Sophia's ballet class. She had to convince me to do ballet (I was thinking karate would be a better fit) and we started taking dance classes in October. It was so much fun to watch the little end of semester recital. Sophia refused to look at the teacher for direction, claiming she wanted to look at me. I think she just wanted to check herself out in the mirror.

Zach loved watching the concert and rocked back and forth to the beat of the music. It was terribly crowded when we arrived, which Zach first had difficulty with, but quickly acclimated by spinning in circles for around 2 minutes, and then proceeded to check the place out. Sophia seems to really love this class. I am so glad she has something she enjoys so much. I never took dance, and have no way to guide her. She will be on her own for this journey, with me on the sidelines, cheering. Hope you enjoy the video!

It's awesome that Sophia chose what she wants to do and enjoys it too. Anna also wants to dance and I am in the same position - I have never learned how to dance. I am curious how it will work out - so far she has no sense of rhythm. But I really want her to try different things and hopefully find something that she will enjoy doing even in adulthood.
