Dance Class

Last Friday the parents were allowed to come into the studio and watch a couple of things the kids have been working on. I was obviously so excited to see Aspen and it worked out that Jason was able to make it too. I think he was pretty impressed to see how creative the teachers have  to be to keep 10 toddlers interested!

Aspen's attitude toward attending her dance classes is night and day from when we started. She wasn't crazy about it at the very beginning, but now she just loves it. The best part for Jason and I is being at home with her and she starts playing one of the little games they do in class. It's pretty hilarious seeing her interpretation of the games.

What a sweet ballerina.

The first activity they did involved some stars. They would dance around with them and then have to put the star on different parts of their body.

 

It was pretty funny once we came into the room. I was proud that she continued with the activities and didn't come over to us, but she definitely knew we were there. She kept waving to us, dancing right in front of us, and even throwing a "cheese" our way a couple of times!

The second game is one of Aspen's favorites that she plays at home. The pretend to be "sleeping lions" and then wake up to dance. Considering how fond Aspen is of "The Lion King" right now, I'm not to surprised she enjoys playing a lion. 

This game was definitely my favorite to watch--bring out the ribbons! All the little girls were having a blast running around and working their ribbons. It was so fun being able to watch Aspen in class. I can't wait to see how much she has progressed by the end of the spring.

 

Aspen also LOVES her teachers. She talks about after we leave class and always wants to stay and hang out with them. As a dance teacher myself, it's always nice to get some love from your students!
