A Real Ballerina

The public library had a dance group come and do a free special performance. I wasn't sure if Allary would really love it because I didn't know what kind of show to expect, but the flier said that young audience members were encouraged to come in dance clothes and would be invited to participate if they would like. I'm really glad we went. The performance was kid-friendly, interactive, and short. Allary was mesmerized by the real ballerinas and their beautiful costumes and pointy slippers. At the end of their show, they invited the children up to the front to learn some dance moves from a professional. Allary was totally into it. She was too shy to actually talk to her, but she did go right up there and did her best to mimic her every move. I wish I would've gotten some action shots of Allary's awesome moves, but these were the best I got.


And here's one showing off her form for the camera. She is so excited now to take a dance class this summer. She tells me she is going to be both an astronaut and a dancer when she grows up.

A dancing astronaut sounds like the best! What a fun activity for the kids-
