Along with classes beginning for school, dance classes start up this week as well. Dancer Girl and Dancer Sister are both very excited.Dancer Girl is adding pointe to her schedule, following some summer introductory private lessons. It has been going well and she is thrilled that there doesn't seem to be any additional stress on her back or increased discomfort due to pointe work.
We have spread out her classes over more days to reduce the amount of time she is in dance class each day. This means more driving for me but less stress on her back. For now it is a good compromise. I may feel differently in the middle of winter when I am driving to dance multiple times a week in the snow!!Classes for the year include: ballet, pointe, contemporary, modern, lyrical, jazz, and dance team. She is also continuing to work on her solo for competition this year, and may join two friends for a trio competition routine. Lessons for those will be fit in periodically throughout the year.
(Dancer Sister is taking ballet, lyrical, contemporary, modern, tap, and dance team, as well as working on a solo for competition herself - lots of dance happening throughout the week!!).
The countdown to dance begins!
