Ballet class


I'm a little sad over summer being unofficially over, especially as it was a pretty wonderful one. But, my melancholy is mitigated by the fact that I am looking forward to taking ballet classes this fall with my sis! We both meticulously planned our dance outfits and I am going to look very New York dance studio: black footless capri tights, a gauzy little skirt, black sleeveless leotard, and a pretty pink wraparound sweater. I think I'm more excited over my outfit more than anything.

Pas de bourree, here I come!

Are those your ballet shoes? They look so different than ones I've seen before ...

Meri, I took ballet when I was 5...I remember being in a recital with my sister, who was the star of the show. And my outfit was a lime green leotard with a ruffled skirt, and pink tights. We still laugh about it today.

Marn, you're probably used to the ballet shoes worn by the littler kids. These are a little different - more professional. You pull the ribbons down to conform to your feet, and you have to sew the straps yourself. The criss-cross way is the preferred way with pros.
