My Amelia had her first ballet class today. As I mentioned before, she is taking a few little classes in town. I had looked and looked for something for her that wasn't too strict or serious (she is four, after all), but it seemed that all of the classes at the local dance halls were that and then some. Anything involving make-up and the words "princess" or "diva" is instant repellent for me. I was fortunate to find some short-term (5 week) classes that allow her to be in small groups for half an hour at a time once a week ... and on Thursdays she gets to wear something pretty and pink. Although she is the first one to be digging in the mud or attempting to climb a tree, she certainly enjoys putting on something pink and floaty. I smile at the balance that just comes natural to her.

Ballet is a beautiful art! Your pictures are precious of your daughter! My daughter takes classical ballet. I love that she is learning balance and grace from an early age!

So precious! I agree, I love traditional style clothing and styles. I don't want my daughter wearing or doing everything that says "diva" or anything like that. What happened to little girls just being little girls? :(

So cute! Reminds me of when me & Becky were in ballet :)

I want to sign up Libby for dance, too. But you're right- anything with princess or diva- eeww. Speaking of, does AK have any Disney princess stuff? I tried and tried and tried to avoid it and it turned out that a lot of the gifts she got from classmates/daycare friends starting at age TWO were some sort of princess thing. Now it's everywhere! I just wish the clothing wasn't so disgusting and cheap. Not to mention cheesy.

We are one and the same in our views on little ones growing up too fast...let them be "babies" for heaven's sake! That dance class sounds perfect. :)

She's so cute with her tutu! :D I wonder why all of your shots don't show her face. Hehe. She reminds me of my little daughter who's very shy when participating in classes like this. :) That dance class sounds great!
