Russia's Prima Ballerina ~ Well Not Quite

The fabulous Inna was able to procure a ballet instructor to come teach the little ones one day a week. From 130-220 she teaches the 3 and 4 yr olds and from 230-320 the 5 and 6 yr olds. 

I was a bit on the fence about the whole thing because it is on Wednesday and that is the day I had set aside as my snowboard day with the kids because it is a half day at school. However, the official season has not started yet and the mountain was closed today so I moved forward with ballet and I am SOOO glad that I did :-)

I wen out to buy her a tutu leotard, tights and ballet shoes. That's a plus living in Russia.... you can always find ballet attire here! When I brought the stuff home for her and told her what she was going to do, her eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. She went full blown theatrical on me with "Oh for me! You shouldn't have Mommy" 

Excited is an understatement. She was so enthusiastic about the whole thing and I just loved seeing her passionate about something. She was in a class with Halle and Sophia and they will be the ones she with until more kids fit into that age bracket. 


SO HAPPY


Little Ballerina's 



Barbara is in the younger class but loves these girls so much that she needed a picture with them :-)



The girls getting to know Miss Shiho and playing around


Miss Shiho closed the door to parents but we could see through the window at what they were doing. This was the first time that she has been at an extra curricular activity that I have not been present. Such a big moment for me! 


It was so cute! They learned all the positions and for not having any dance class before, Ash was catching on pretty quick. It helps that she prances about the house like a ballerina though :-) 

Then my dam phone died and no more picture taking!!! I know I know... I should have charged that phone 

More to come next week at the next class!
