Dance Showcase

 Of all the girls dance classes I got to sit in on, I think I enjoyed Liesel's pointe the most simply because I still can't believe she can dance on her toes! They began with several warm-up exercises like keeping a pen between her thighs as she moved across the floor. 

Eventually they lace up their pointe shoes which takes quite a while. Not to throw shade but some of the girls miss half of class fussing with their shoes (ie untying and retying them) over and over.

Watching Gita work on her leaps was also pure joy.

I'm realizing when Gita puts her mind to something she really goes for it- in dance and in life.

She has a way of pushing herself.

She's got a lot of confidence, for sure!

Love this song and loved this dance!

I love how Gita's naturally joyful personality comes out in her hip hop number.

Sydney has the sweetest class of girls just like her.

She insisted on wearing red lipstick along with her Christmas shirt.

She's not as much of a stickler for technique but I'm so very impressed with her progress!

Ireland's knee is still really bothering her so I didn't observe any of her classes since she sat on the side and just observed. Dance classes are expensive and I'm so glad the girls are learning and growing!
