This was our first year taking dance class. Kessler really enjoys watching shows with music and dance (ranging from Pitch Perfect to The Nutcracker) and loves to try and copy the dance and even sing along. So I figured, why not let her try dance? If she did not like the structure of it, I was not going to continue it. But she really looks forward to going to “ballet!” And her first recital is one week from today. I’m really excited because she has her 2 dances down!

Here are pictures from her dress rehearsal the other day. Expect more pics from the actual recital next week!

**Mommy tip: I recorded videos on my iPhone of the teacher doing the moves, and I would play it for Kessler at home and she was able to practice and get the moves down.   

This little boy, Sammy, cracks me up. He always has a frown on his face and putting his “thumbs down” to show his utter disdain for being in the tap portion of the routine 🙂
