Claire took baby ballet from Dawn Fitzgerald's Academy of Dance this year. It was such a fight to get her to go each week. She would say that is was hard, etc. She is such a performer though. She LOVED the last few weeks of practice because they got to do their routine in front of a little audience.
I was worried about how she would behave at dance rehearsal. I wasn't sure how long we would be there. We ended up being there for four hours, and I so proud of Claire. She didn't once complain.
I am sad that she doesn't want to dance next year because she is a natural. She had NO fear going up on stage at recital and dancing in front of a packed crowd. A part of me wants to make her do it because she is so good at it, but I always told myself I would never make my kids do anything they really didn't want to do. I do have a rule that my kids have to be in at least one extracurricular activity though. Claire says she wants to be on a winning soccer team. hahaha I think it's funny that she put "winning" in there. :)
