The Big Show

Today was Emily's last day of her Jazzy Bugs class at The Little Gym. They ended the semester with a show for the parents. It was very cute. They showed off their gymnastics skills on the uneven bars and the balance beam. Then they did their ballet and tap performances. Emily is very strong and I think she will be a great gymnast. She had a hard time with the tap dance part. She complained about her shoes hurting every other week, (on the other weeks, she would tell me she couldn't dance because her heel slipped out.) She loved the idea of being a ballerina and loved to watch herself twirl in the full lenght mirrors in the dance room. Regardless, I think both the gymnastics and the dance helped to improve her coordination. She had a great time and really enjoyed classes. Any free time they had during their class you could find Emily doing this.

They always started class with a cute song, introductions and a trick. Emily is showing off her forward roll.

The uneven bars were Emily's favorite part of class, she is doing her tummy roll.

She did a great job on the balance beam too.

This was the ballet dance, Emily here with her friends, Madison, Rose and Bella

I love this picture, it perfectly captures what Emily loved about being a ballerina

We didn't get any good pictures during the tap dance, she just stood there, then she got mad and then wouldn't even smile after it was over and she received her award.

So I will finish with these cute before pictures of my beautiful ballerina

I think we will try a gymnastics class at River City Gymnastics and see if this is where her interests as well her talents lie.
