If you are a longtime follower, you know that we have not been to the Little Gym in quite some time. Samantha lost interest in the parent-child class, and it became a chore to take her. After taking some time off, we have just enrolled her in her very first dance class. We have several good options here in Knoxville, but I really wanted to take her somewhere and just let her have fun. We need to make sure she likes it and can respond to instruction before we enroll her in a serious program. Well, she did not disappoint. Every day since we have been home from the beach she has asked about her dance class. Finally, the day was upon us. This was NOT a parent child class. She did everything on her own with the instructors and other little girls. I had to take the action shots through glass, so that's why they appear a little fuzzy.
We thought you might like to witness a little bit of her life's story ... her first ever dance class. And from the looks of it, it will be the first of many!
Modeling her first official leotard, tutu and ballet shoes.
... and the tap shoes.
Doing a little creative movement with the poms.
"On point." She loved to dance around on her toes!
They got to spend some time in the gym practicing different skills - strength, balance, etc. Our big girl tackled the balance beam all by herself! This would not have been attempted a year ago.
Sacked out!

another milestone for Miss Samantha, thanks for sharing. papaw
Now she is officially a diva - can't wait for the recitals. I am sure she will be front & center just like someone else I know.
