Holiday Dance Perfomance

Katie had her holiday dance performance the week before Christmas. It's a pretty low key performance. Friends and family are invited to sit in the studio for a short dance class, and at the end, the class performs a short dance that they've practiced together. Then the kids get treats after the class. Katie loves it!

While I waited for my class to begin, I was very serious!

Once it began, I was ready to smile!

My class starts with warm-up exercises.

We got to stretch our legs...

…by reaching for our toes.

We also practice our ballet arm positions.

We've learned a lot of them this year.

After warm-ups, we do our barre work.

When I do my plies, it's hard for my mom to get a picture of my face.

We have to make sure we have the correct foot position.

This is my favorite pose.

 I like to do this, but it's hard to keep our balance!

We practice a lot at the barre!

Some of our work is done in front of the barre.

I love doing floor work, but there's a lot to remember!

This was our Christmas dance.

I have fun dancing with my friends!
