Dancing Queen

Kelsey started dance class on Monday. It is a mommy and me class (or daddy and me). I was a little nervous how she would react to it all. She loves to boogie down at home and we have a blast free-styling it, but this is a bit more structured setting. She sure had the look ready for class. She got a new pink leotard and pink dance shoes. She really liked when we got dressed. All day we talked about listening to the teacher and being quiet. Well some of it must have sunk in because I was so happy with how she adjusted to class. She listened really well as we danced to a song and attempted to follow the directions (touch your knees, clap your hands, etc.) Then we hopped like bunnies, marched, spun around like tops, and jumped like frogs. The only thing that brought a little difficulty was using the rhythm sticks. She loved using it so much that she didn't want to put it away. A few very convincing words needed to be said in order to move on from that. Overall, I would give her an A for the day! It was so fun to be able to do that with her and see how she just lit up around all the other kids and even how she could follow directions. I was a very proud mama!
