Emma's Ballet Demonstration

Yesterday was Emma's ballet demonstration. She is taking from Miss Robbin this year and we are loving it!! There was no actual "recital" but a demonstration of what they have learned this year. It was in a dance studio and I loved watching then go through what they do every week in class. (And not having to watch 2 hours of other kids dance!) Emma loves ballet and Jon even said he would like her to keep going with it. Love to get the stamp of approval from dad! :) Emma did a great job and gets to move up to the Formal Division next year. Her review was good and there are only a few things she needs to work on, but she has come a long way this year. Emma's costume was a little scary, but she loved it! I've never seen the movie, but there were a few "Black Swan" references! :) The tutu was cute, but the crown was a little out of control! But, we didn't pay $70 for a costume this year so I can't complain. (Sorry some of the pictures are blurry. The lighting was bad in the room and I had to zoom to get a good shot of Emma.) Yesterday was also a little bittersweet. It was Louise's birthday. I had Emma wear her earrings that were grandma's. As I was putting them on Emma she said, "Maybe grandma will be watching me dance today!". I hope she could because I know she would be really proud of her.
