Prima Ballerina

My girl performed in her second ballet recital last Friday.  She was beautiful!

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

Claire and her best ballet friend, Emily

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.

The little girls went first (ages 2 and 3)

Then Claire’s class performed (ages 3 - 5)

Then the big girls performed (ages 5-8)

Then they all performed together.

After the finale my girl came flying into her daddy’s arms!

We are so very proud of our princess!  She did a great job!

A few pics from the performances

I love this bundle of fluff!

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

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!!
