Ballerina Girls!

Today, the girls had their first ballet/tap classes! Gabrielle went first with her hour class and Nicolette then had a half hour class. At the beginning of Gabrielle's class, no one else had shown up yet, so she started with a private lesson until the other girls showed up. She was very sad when she couldn't join Nicolette in her class. Nicolette was actually supposed to be 2.5 years to be in her class, but they let her join anyways at 22.5 months! Thank you to their friends, Amelia and Fiona, who gave us the coupon to try out a couple classes! Teacher Jenna was very sweet with all of the girls.

At the studio, there is a waiting room with a one-way mirror, so I was able to take some videos (okay, a lot!) and pictures of the fun!
