Lyrical and Acro Dance

Katie also started a new, second dance class this summer. Ms. Moriah, the teacher Katie has had since she was two, teaches the class and Katie absolutely loves everything about it. She spends the first half of the class doing acrobatics and the second half of the class learning a lyrical dance.

With this class, Katie felt sore muscles for the first time. The class starts with lots of abdominal warm-ups and exercises. The morning after the first class, Katie thought something was seriously wrong when it hurt to move. She wasn't crazy about her sore muscles, but they were better in a day or two, and they have stayed limber ever since.

We have to learn how to do big leaps in this class. Ms. Moriah and her helper helped me by running with me and picking my arms up, so I could feel what a big leap feels like!
