Amelie's First Performance!

Amelie has been in a performing group this season. It's not just a dance technique class, but a little singing and dancing group. At first, she really struggled with staying in class, but that passed pretty quickly. She has also had some difficulty focusing and participating in class (I mean, she wasn't even 3 when she started...) I wondered if she was ready and deliberated over keeping her in, switching to gymnastics, and waiting altogether. Obviously, we stuck with it and she has come to adore her class and teacher, Missy. Now that Christmas is here, they have a LOT of performances. The first was this past Monday at a nursing home. It was totally up in the air whether she'd actually dance or just sit there. Turns our she was somewhere in the middle. Here are a few shots of the (most adorable!) performance.

Yeah, that's Amie in front wandering to find her mark.
Jingle Bell Twisting it up!

"where are we supposed to go?"
Yeah, still not there, Amie... :)


Here is a (very low-quality) video, so you can witness for your very own, the intermittent staring and dancing.








So cute!!!
