Dancin' Queen (or Princess)

We have a new activity for the next six weeks on Tuesday nights.  Amelia started a summer dance class!  The class is for ages 2 and 3, and includes a little ballet, a little tumbling and some fun dance songs.  Her classes will conclude on July 31st with her summer recital. 
This is our first organized class of any sort, and Amelia did great!  She wasn't afraid to leave me and head off with the instructors to start class and followed the rules and 'tried' to follow their lead when they were showing her how to do certain things.  I'm not allowed in the room with her, but there was a big TV screen that we could watch.  Let me tell you we spent most of our time laughing.  It was funny watching her try and imitate the instructors.  And yes I was one of 'those mom's' and I videoed the TV screen!  She did well for her first time and she'll do even better with additional practice.  One of the instructors asked her while they were doing the tumbling exercises if she had taken a gymnastics class and she replied with 'yes'.  I had to break the news to the instructor that contrary to Amelia's statement she had never taken a gymnastics class!  She loved it so much that she cried when it was time to go, because she wanted 'to do more dance'.
Dressed and ready to go!
She was practicing! Hence the blurred pictures.
