Tiny Dancer

Last week, Abby attended her first dance camp with her little friends Makena and Olivia. Abby has been talking about doing dance for a long time and we have wanted to see how she likes it before we make a longer commitment. She went to camp from Monday through Friday from 9-12. Abby really enjoyed it. When asked what her favorite part was she said, "snack and crafts". She told us she liked the dancing part too, but it made her tired. I didn't really understand until the end of the week when we attended the little show the kids were preparing. They learned four small dance routines in that amount of time! No wonder she was wiped out! I'm sure she would like it even more if so much wasn't crammed into a short period of time and there wasn't the pressure to learn more than what kids normally learn over the course of months.

Either way, knowing Abby was spending fun time with her friends and learning new things made it a good experience for her! Her face lit up as she danced around the room. She loves performing and learned some tap, ballet and creative movement throughout the week. We think she will really enjoy being in a dance class one day. It is definitely something we will revisit in a year or so!
