Spring ballet

Ruby finished up her latest round of ballet classes this week. Here are the pictures from her recital. It's very evident now that she's been in the class for a long time. (Something like 15 months now.) She knows what comes next and anticipates it. She knows all her French vocabulary. She is often called on to go first or be the line leader. She hurries to be the first one to the barre and stands there in first position waiting for her teacher while all the other girls wiggle and worm around and swing like monkeys. She's scheduled for another preschool ballet class this spring. She'll take the summer off for swimming, but might doa hip-hop class since she's finally old enough now. Then, after that, I'm trying to decide if I'll move her to the intermediate ballet class in the fall.
