Dancing Queen Take 2!!!

So after stopping our first dance classes because we started school and the time conflicted - we started in a new dance studio last week.  Many of you do not know that I was so into dancing all throughout my childhood and most of college.  I LOVED to dance -- I taught dance, I was on drill team in HS, I danced in College and never thought there would be a day that I wouldn't dance and I have always dreamed of the day when I would help my daughter at her busy recitals and dance competitions the same way my mom did for me. At some point in college I got serious about my future and gave up dancing...I shouldn't of...I miss it all the time.  But the point to all of this is that I really never imagined a day when my daughter wouldn't love dancing.  It just could not be that she hated it.  So we tried it last week.....



And here she is with her jacket in hand ready to get the heck out of there...she cried and sat in my lap the entire time.  I wanted to cry too...and really I did when class was over...but we were going to tough it out and watch the class the entire time even if we were not going to participate willingly....my heart was broken

Here we are before our class last week...trying it again....

And here she is...not in her ballet shoes...jacket still on because she isn't sure yet...but she is joining in with the teacher...I was crossing my fingers...


And here she is trying it...yeah!

And loving the tumbling part....she had a huge smile on her face....at the end of the video...


I was so relieved....More updates next week....

Oh my goodness!!! I hope she loves it! :) I couldn't see the video; I think it's set to private.

I'm sure she will warm up to it and be a beautiful little dancer like her Mama. ;)
