Jazelle's First Dance Class

Jazelle's First Dance Class

    Today was Jazelle's first dance class. Not a mommy fail this time lol. I was excited and nervous like if I was going to be the MY first day of class. We got there and 3 other little girls were there. With Jazelle's sassy personality, I wouldn't of thought of her being shy but she was . As the little girls were playing before class started, she stood just observing. 

   I asked if I can take pictures and she said yes. I don't think she knew what was to come. I was the crazy mom that took pictures through out the whole class lol. It was such a cute class. So many different props they used, fun songs to help them out with ballet movements. Of course Jazelle twirls around in her tip-e toes at home and wasn't participating at first. It was normal of her to feel shy though. First they streched.

 i   Then they danced a bunny song and hopped and incorporating other movements. Then Jazelle got warmed up and held a little girl's hand and hopped with her <3

   Then they each grabbed colorful cloths and had fun throwing them up in the air and also doing movements with them :).

   Next they got some long colorful loofas and did some fun movements with those.

   

They then got into a circle and held hands. It was the cutest ever! Then the teacher joined them and taught them how to point their toes. She was so sweet and professional through out the whole class. 

 
 They worked on their brush kicks and she helped Jazelle learn how to point her toes.

   They the teacher grabbed hoops and layed them on the floor so they can hop on them with one or two feet. 

When they were done, she grabbed another little girls hand to twirl around. They had matching tutu's <3

   Then they each got butterfly wings and a wand and danced around the whole floor

   Next we put on their tap shoes and I had to sit next to Jazelle cuz she was getting unfocused lol. They did some warm up taps.

It seemed like all the girls had the "tapping" down lol. A lot of tapping noises. Jazelle ran around most of the time wanting to do her own thing.

              The teacher and I had to tell her to go stand on her blue spot a number of times lol.

                           Then they grabbed some sticks and danced to a cute sons using the sticks

   Then they grabbed another colorful prop. Used it to march with it and do other dance movements. Jazelle mostly cleaned the floor with it lol.

   Last they changed into their regular shoes and grabbed another prop which Jazelle twirled it around. It was super cute. You can tell she was tired.

   I totally forgot tomorrow is Valentine's Day and some of the little girls gave each Valentine treats and were so sweet and gave Jazelle some.

  

                                      Overall I loved this class. Jazelle didn't cry or throw a tantrum which is a win! haha... Now I have to decide if I Jazelle loved it enough to keep on taking the classes. I think I am going to register monthly. This was a memorable day for me. I loved having dance class every day from Jr. High till I graduated High School and miss it very much. Hope you enjoyed reading about Jazelle's first dance class. :<3
