Macey Officially Starts Dance Class

While Macey was so afraid of going to dance class at her first attempt, we enrolled her in Preschool and she began to open up.  She became a little less timid and afraid of others, so we decided to try dance class once again.  This time it would be a different dance class, a local community class where she could learn tap and ballet.  

She was excited once again, but we were still wondering if she would actually go inside this time.  

She was a little nervous, but she went in!  She didn't cry, and she tried to do what the teacher asked.

She was a little wobbly at first.

But then she started to get the hang of it.

Pretty soon she was going all out.

Here's a few video clips of her first dance experiences:

Hmmm.....maybe she'd get it.....

Here's another cute one:

   

Too Scared to Dance

This is Micah and Jewelia's little sister.  Her name is Macey and she has watched her big brother and sister dance since she was a little baby.  She loved to dance around and imitate them, so when the time came that she was 3 years old, we decided to enroll her in a dance class.

She was so excited to get all dressed up in her pink leotard and skirt and get her hair put in a bun.  She was prepared with her dance backpack and new ballet shoes, but when the time came for class, Macey wouldn't go in.  

She was afraid to dance in the room with strange kids and a teacher she didn't know.  She wouldn't go.  She clung to my leg and cried and refused to go to class.  So, as dance class went on without her, she watched the monitors from the lobby and danced in the waiting room.  

So, she liked to dance in the waiting room, but she didn't like to dance in the dance class room.  Maybe she was too young.  We let it go, and decided to try again when she was older.
