coco is taking her first ballet lesson this afternoon. we got her a pair of these hideous intestine-pink ballet slippers, which look absolutely adorable on chubby little feet, but abstained from the tutu because her future in ballet is uncertain at this point. the thing is, the class is technically for girls over three, but they made an exception for coco, since her birthday is only a month away. however, if the teacher thinks she's not ready for such sophistication, she'll be kicked out of the class. i can just imagine the teacher doing a grand battement on coco's petit derrière, sending her flying gracefully out of the studio.
i know coco is completely capable of doing whatever it is the teacher instructs, the real question is whether she'll understand these instructions in english. or will they be in french? my advice to coco: do as the tutus do and just try to make it through, and next class, you'll have a tutu, too.
I just read - how sweet! Did she stay in the class? My daughter is back to dance this year, and we're spending what feels like half of our week driving to and from dance classes and rehearsals. But, I absolutely love it. :)
