Micah's First Formal Dance Training

While Micah's first dance class was kind of a fun class for kids age 5-7 to figure out what kind of dancing they liked, in the fall of 2008, he began his first formal dance classes specifically in tap and ballet. This time there were 2 separate classes for each dance instruction. Here he began learning more distinct moves in both his ballet and tap.

Again, he was the only boy, yet it never seemed to matter to Micah. He still loved to dance. While he was quite shaky at first, he was learning. Somehow he would figure out how these other kids kept their balance and kept so coordinated.

Here is Micah in his level 1 ballet dance class:

He even began learning some small jumps:



In tap he began practicing for an upcoming Christmas recital:



He still had a lot to master, but he was having a lot of fun!
