I want the kids to be more active. I asked Corinne to pick one activity to do this summer. She said, “Dance.” I searched the internet and called numerous dance studios. Most require the student attend for a full year and charge tuition even if you move/quit. Lame! I found one offering a summer course and jumped at the chance. Corinne is taking an 8 week class. It is a sampler: 2 weeks each of ballet, jazz, hip hop, and tap. Last night was her first class. She was so excited to get ready.

The first class was ballet. I am not a fan. That said, Corinne did great! I was really impressed. She listened to the teacher and did the moves just right! It brought tears to my eyes. (I’m emotional, okay?!) She has been on cloud 9 ever since. She is already counting down the days to next week. I’m curious to see how she likes the other types of dance.
