first dance class

The time finally came for Addison to start her dance class!!!  She had been talking about it for WEEKS so she was thrilled that it was finally here!  

Entering the studio...
Isn't it SOOO girly in there?  Addi thinks she's died and gone to heaven with the purple sparkle floors and leopard carpet!

Tap shoes! 

Olivia loved playing at the train table before class. 

Addison, Mackenzie and Gabby all ready to go! 




Checking in with the teacher.  As we drove to class we talked about how she had to speak up in class and say her name very clearly for the teacher.  I was SOO proud because she walked right in and said her name loud and clear for the teachers!  Way to go Addi! 



I never in my wildest dreams thought her two-tails would be this long! 



bouncing... 

hands on hips... 

booty shakes... 

boogy-woogy... 

and then they shut the door!  

DARN!

She must have a great time because when they opened the door she was all smiles!  And she even got a purple lollipop!!! 


Can't wait to go back! Let's just hope she likes recital this much!
