Daisy and her dancing...

It was Parent Observation Week at Daisy's ballet school, and so I got actually allowed into the inner sanctum that is Daisy's ballet class. The teacher lovingly but firmly runs a tight ship, so if parents distract, the door is closed and we don't see them until they appear all smiley at the end of class. So today was an unusual day. I loved watching her.

One of the benefits of being in New York is that her dance class takes place at the nationally renowned Joffrey Ballet, located in the West Village. But after the 'hey, that's cool!' wears off, it is just your average ballet studio with an amazing teacher and peeling paint. We like it, and most importantly, Daisy likes it.

This is how they move around the class - in a little train. It's such a cute group of kiddos.

Circle time is important, and also each child gets to do their own dancing.
