Dance lessons

Not 'dance' or 'dance class,' but 'dance lessons,' according to Clara Cunningham.  This was the third week of the girls taking "dance lessons" and there were great strides this week.  I took these pictures on my phone the first week.  The first two weeks I likened Clara's participation to that of a bean pole.  She was rooted in the ground, not moving her feet in the slightest, but posing beautifully for the camera as you can see.  I always considered her my "brave one," little attention I payed to how easy it is to be brave holding big sister's hand.  Now the youngest class is first, followed by Nora's age group.  Well, my story is on its way to a happy ending because we practice yesterday and today, Clara, as she states "did everything the teacher told me."  Way to go Clara!

Nora loves it, as I knew she would.  The girls are in a class that is both ballet and tap.  I miss the little community ed class that Nora took, but this is a good next step for Nora.  The dance performance review will be in May....stay tuned.
