Dance Show!

Keely is obsessed with dancing. We watched an episode of Angelina Ballerina and Keely is addicted. She dances all of the time. The video below is her putting on a "Dance Show" for us. These happen about every other day now, complete with outgrown "dancing dress" (Thanks Jessica!).

After she became obsessed with dancing, we tried using it as a bribe to get her to potty train. We promised her that we'd find a dance class for her after she was using the potty. Maybe it was a coincidence, but at about the same time she DID start using the potty. So we found her a dance class. 

For her first class (we hadn't bought her a leotard yet), Daniel came and took pictures. Yeah, we were THOSE parents. I hovered at the little window into the dance studio and watched her the entire 45 minutes. I loved it almost as much as she did. She spent the first 20 or so minutes mostly watching and absorbing. She finally started participating towards the end. Last week she did a good job participating, though she kept adding in twirls where they weren't supposed to be! The pictures below are from her first class.

Solo dancing on stage (well not solo this time!)

Skipping as part of 1 of the dances. She told us at the end of class this was her FAVORITE part!
