Dancing Queen

We told Liz that when soccer came to an end she could sign up for dance class. Normally she forgets things we tell her immediately after we say them (this comes in handy actually!) but not with this promise. She has questioned us multiple times as to when her dance class would be starting. Finally, with the start of the new year, her class began.

It is a ballet/jazz class and there are only 5 little girls in it. Whenever the music is on, Liz is dancing whether the teacher is ready or not. Luckily she has the movie Barbie Nutcracker and already has a ton of dance moves. Here are some action shots:



Here is she is strutting her stuff while the others are waiting patiently for instruction:


And the one negative moment in class - the teacher made them sit down by the trash can! (From my perspective: the teacher asked the girls to sit down and suddenly Liz had this upset expression on her face. I was wondering what had happened. After class I asked her why she was sad and she said, "She made me sit by the trash can.") Liz has this amazingly strong sense of smell. She smells things long before anyone else does. Obviously a low point for Liz!
