Tonight was Elizabeth's last summer ballet class.......which meant parent observation night. It was one of the cutest things I have ever seen!
Getting ready to go.
Class began with attendance circle. Everyday Ms. Rochelle (who by the way is great with the little ones!) asks a question for each girl to answer. Today's question was "What is your favorite part of ballet class?" Elizabeth said it was doing ponies.
After attendance circle the girls had to follow Ms. Rochelle and do their stretches.
There were lots of stretches.....all with a story to focus the girls.
After stretching the class did a little routine. They showed us first and second position, pontue (I don't think that is how you spell it), and plies. Elizabeth does quite a plie!
All the girls showed off their music box ballerina twirls......to the rights AND to the left.
When it came time to dance across the floor, Elizabeth was the first in line. The girls showed us shayes first.
Elizabeth did a great job listening to directions and waiting her turn. She told me after class that she never touches the bar because Ms. Rochelle said they couldn't.
The girls did "ponies" across the floor. (Liz had been practicing all week)
Elizabeth's favorite is freeze dance with a scarf. She had fun dancing and twirling, and got the freeze part down too. When dance was over all the girls curtsied and blew kisses. It was a great performance!
