The second semester of dance was a much bigger succes for Laurel than the first semester. Most Mondays, she ran right in without any tears (which was a huge change from the fall). She gets excited when she realizes it's a Monday and she dances around the house all day. She is still not a fan of all the attention being on her, though, so I wasn't sure how this recital would go. I was SO SO proud of how well she did (especially compared to her first recital in which she laid down in the middle of the room the whole time). She takes dance at a place in the Heights called Claire's School of Dance. We love it because it is very low key and low pressure. It is more "creative movement" than it is ballet. So her recital is really just a parent demonstration of what class looks like. She started off a little shy (see below) and David and I could not stop laughing when she laid down on the floor but she quickly popped up and hung out on the wall and behind the curtain for a bit before joining in with her dancer friends.
She LOVES her teacher, Miss Michelle. She even asked if she could invite her to her birthday party. She is always so patient with her and sweet and encouraging. She is excited to be in her class again this summer.
At the end, she got a flower and a tiara from Miss Michelle-- she felt like such a princess!
I'm so proud of my Tiny Dancer!
