Bitty took a long break from dance because for a while she refused to participate. So we did a year of soccer. Then when soccer ended I asked her if she'd like to do soccer again or give dancing another try. (Sorry gal, I'm a one-thing-per-kid kind of mom.) I was happy that she chose dance - ballet and tap. I know there are a lot of places to go these days for dance but I'm pretty devoted to our Miss Kim who teaches up at the Steiner Rec Center. She's just terrific. I like how she teaches, I like how she handles problems, and I like that she doesn't do a big performance at the end of each semester. We have a parent observation day where we get to go into class and the girls show off their dances for us and everything they've learned, but it's pretty laid back and that's how I like it.
Bitty was so happy in class, and last Friday during the final class I got to see how much she's really improved. It's pretty neat. And I'm excited to continue on in January. The best part of class had to be when Miss Kim demonstrated her tap dancing skills to show why she was teaching the girls the steps she was. I really should have been taking a video or photos or something but I was too busy letting my chin hit the floor. Wow! I just found out she teaches tap for grown ups....hmmm......I think I might have to spend a little time with Miss Kim myself!

Miss Kim's kids go to our school. Her son was Samantha's crush for like 3 years. Makes me laugh to think about it. (Of course she will hate me for saying that.)
SO CUTE! Oh my gosh!! I want to take adult tap!! If only I lived closer we could take adult tap together! :)
Fun!!!! I love that your daughter looks so poised in that one picture, just like her teacher!!!! We switched dance schools this year because our old one was too uptight and stressful. Love our new teacher too- fun, warm, kind, etc.I could do without the $85 dance costumes though.
