Let's Dance!

This week, the girls started another year of dance at TDI.  This is Elizabeth's fourth year and Emily's second year and they are each taking a new class - tap.  I have long resisted tap (for reasons unknown even to me), but after watching the recital last year, both girls were insistent that they were going to take it and I gave in.  Elizabeth now takes ballet, tap and jazz and Emily takes ballet and tap (no jazz for the little kids).  They were very excited for classes this week - because they love to dance and because we got them new leotards.  We are very interested to see how the year plays out for Elizabeth, as she now has full time kindergarten and then, one night a week, is taking dance class at a time when she's normally already in bed for the night.  But we are really thrilled for another year of dance with Miss Jen.

Their pile of dance shoes.

Elizabeth in her new leotard - she wouldn't stop moving because she was so excited, which is why it's a bit blurry.

Lots of shoes = a little dance bag to carry them in.  Another exciting side benefit for the girls.

Can you tell that she's excited?!
