Ava Loves to Dance!


This post is a few weeks late as Ava has now had her 3rd week of dance class...but if you didn't catch it in my previous post, she is now (as I just said) in dance! She's in the 3-4 year old Tap/Ballet/Jazz combination class at Select Dance Academy in Shakopee. She's one of the youngest in her class but her teachers say she is doing great!

This session goes into Spring with her recital being sometime around May 10th I believe at the new Shakopee High School. Should be interesting! We aren't sure exactly what they do for their hour each week as we aren't allowed to stay, but they apparently have a couple of 'parents' days where we can observe what they do. I do know that so far she's learning the basics of Ballet (First/Second,etc. position, Arabesque, Jeté, Plié) as well as basic toe tapping...fancy! She'll show you all of it, so she's obviously learning!

Anyway, I'm sure this post is more exciting for all of my 'female' readers (yes, I say it as if I have a large dedicated reader base). Hope you all enjoyed your summer...'cause if you haven't noticed....it's OVER!

I didn't know you had a daughter. Since when?

You want some Jag? I guess my brother took a shot during the marathon on Sunday. How nasty, while running 26 miles take a shot of jag.......urg!

Also, let's see how long until a female posts something on this site. I am guessing at least a week!
(steve don't call your mom and tell her to respond!)

Wow, you use those ballet terms as if you really know what they mean...maybe that's what you were really doing instead of going to boyscouts.

Ava, you look adorable! Can't wait to see your moves!

no way Steve was a Boy Scout! That is about as funny as ME being a scout.

Steve said...

Cub Scouts, yes. Boy Scouts, nope. I got out before it got 'uncool'. Then I joined the ballet.

and HA! That was WAY less than a week.
