Ballet Pictures

This Monday I start DANCE CAMP!
I am super duper excited, especially because my friend, Bella will be doing it too! I just bought new dance clothes that fit the guidelines: black leotard, black dance skirt, white leggings, and new ballet shoes. I AM SO READY TO START TODAY, but it doesn't start till monday :( I thought I would post about the basics of ballet: positions, proper atire, and just normal pictures of Anna and I :)

~Right now I am going to walk over to McDonalds and have a cool treat... then do 40 crunches, 60 leg ups, and Walk Away The Pounds to work it all off :) Ciao!

Worship Dance/Little Sisters

I did worship dance 2007-2008 but then I quit because, being it was my first year, I didn't feel like I could keep up in the Teen class. However, my mother happened to bump into the owner of the studio, Danielle Black, from Grace Christian Dance. She told my mom that they give free private tutoring so girls won't drop out, so... drumroll please... I WILL BE DOING WORSHIP DANCE THIS COMING SEMESTER! Anna will too, and she will be sooooo cute!

Just before she went to bed tonight, I walk in to find her in her larry boy shirt, bloomer shorts, and ballet shoes. She is putting on her shoes and she tells me, "Mrs Robinson (The ballet teacher and our dear friend) tells us to tuck in the shoe wiskers," and "Sara, can you put a bun in my hair? Mrs Black tells us to put our hair up," SHE IS SO CUTE! She proceeds to show me demi and grande plies in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd position and then grande jetes for me. My jaw is on the floor, because aside from the demi plies I hadn't taught her any of this... she will have so much fun :)
