She has developed a lot of skill and really loves to dance.  She’s also making a lot of friends!IMG_0454

Since moving to Minnesota, Claire has been taking ballet at the YMCA.  She’s been going to class on Monday evenings for the last 14 weeks.  On Friday, her class, along with the class older and the class younger, performed excerpts of The Nutcracker and then together performed Jingle Bell Rock.IMG_0831

I love being a “dance mom!”  Especially to this beautiful ballerina!!IMG_0484

After the first of the year, Claire will start another 7-week dance class along with a 7-week tumbling class.  More fun stuff ahead!!

  1. I just realized today that I had not looked at Claire's blog in a while. Loved the pics of her ballet. Wish I could have seen her in person.
