Love Dance

We picked up Emma (from Ms. Omayma's) on our way to dance class today.  Can I tell you how thrilled Sylvie was to have one of Her friends riding in the car?  {Don't get me wrong, she does love Colton, but having Emma back there made her super happy!}

Sylvie's still not feeling 100% better though.  For the first time ever, she was a little clingy during dance class, and even sat a few songs out!  (Ms. Kristen said, "Well that's surely an indicator that she's not feeling well! Sylvie is one of my best students!") The little miss wore red tights and her heart leotard in honor of Valentine's week- fitting since we LOVE dance so much!

They always review the rules of tap before they begin the tap session of the class.  Sylvie enjoys this as much as anything.  It's very funny to hear her repeat back what Ms. Kristen has taught them. 
Ms. Kristen: "Do we run in our tap shoes?" 
Sylvie: "Nooooo." 
"Do we walk fast?" 
"Noooooo, cuz dat's like wunning and we could fall on our bottoms!"
"And how long will that hurt for?"
 "For twee whole days!!!"  
"3 whole days!  That's right.  Can we put our hands on the floor?" 
"Nooooo, 'cuz a friend might tap tap tap on them." 
"Right, and how long will that hurt for?" 
"For twee whole days!!!" 

It really is adorable!

 

Today they did a little pom-pom shaking during tap time.  btw, Ms. Kristen is a former Redskins cheerleader...maybe she's training some future recruits? :p

 

Afterward Ms. Kristen had a special treat- Valentine's cupcakes with special candy-shaped rings!  We all watched Sylvie cautiously, but nope- go figure the cupcake went down smooth despite an upset tummy!  :)
