Bouncing Bunnies Dance Class

Morgan attended her first dance class this morning! She loved it! I didn't know what to expect going in. It's truly my first experience out there in the world of organized group activities for "typical kids."

Morgan didn't like leaving her shoes in the cubby. She kept asking "Shoes...where ARE YOU???" after we sat for a few minutes waiting for everyone to get there we went in the studio area. It was a nice carpeted, soft floor with a lot of gymnastics and dance apparatus set up. We started with a little song and clapping -- which Morgan fully participated in, then on to some stretching like touching our toes, putting our nose to our knees, etc. Morgan was a little confused but went along with it. Then we went on to the balance beams. She loved it! We did them several times, each a different way. Her favorite was step-kicking her way down the beam. She did not like the parallel bars one bit. She kept saying "oh no, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay" and I knew she was nervous and not having any of it. She did the same thing when it came time to learn a forward roll. I think she prefers her feet under her head and not over it!

All in all I was impressed and we'll be heading back next week! I am going to get her a little pair of ballet shoes because she kept slipping all over the place in her socks. I am proud of her and can't wait to see how she does next week!

PS -- Jack starts FIRST GRADE on Monday!!!!!!
