Ballet Recital

Three-year-old Madeline's dream came true when she received the gift of "real" ballet lessons for her third birthday. Her ballet class at the YMCA has been one of the highlights of each week for the past three months. The teacher, Ms. Sonja, does an amazing job of corralling a dozen three and four year olds who are more interested in wearing leotards and tutus than actually learning any dance skills.

Today was the big day that we had all been anticipating - her first ballet recital!


The tutu only stayed on for a few minutes before being cast aside.


Jumping skills!


Doing the "Shake a Leg" dance


Playing afterwards with some of the other girls from her class. Benjamin thinks he is just one of the girls. :)
