Little Ballerinas

The GGs started taking dance lessons last week. The very first time that they went, they both cried almost the entire class time and barely participated. Gisella stood and pointed to the door while Giuliana sat in the teacher's lap. There is a camera in the ballet room and Michael, Georgie and I got to watch in the waiting area.

I am happy to report that today's lesson went a lot smoother. The girls still cried at the beginning of class but eventually stopped and even participated. Giuliana was such a good jumper and spinner - while Gisella moved gracefully around the room. They both enjoyed looking at themselves in the mirror.

If you notice in the first picture above, the GGs did not have on ballet slippers. I was not sure if they needed them or not for the class. I got a 'talking to' after class from the teacher who told me that they needed ballet slippers. So, I got it together and found them ballet slippers for their class today. The slippers are not leather - they are from Target - but are obviously a lot cheaper than the real deal. But, I have 2 girls that are only 2 so the real leather can wait. Besides, I wanted to see them actually participate before buying them.
