Pre-pointe Ballet

Taysa has never shown any interest whatsoever in ballet but this year out of the blue she asked if she could take ballet. The dance year had already started so we thought she would probably have to wait until next season. My friend, Keri Payne, owns Elite Studios dance in Shelley so Taysa asked her if she had any ballet classes she could sign up for. She actually had a spot in a 7th-12th grade pre-pointe ballet class. So she had Taysa come to one class to see if she would be able to handle it. What do you think happened? Not only could she handle it but she fell in love with it. Her goal is to be on toe shoes in the next year. She was the youngest and smallest girl in the class but WOW did she ever stand out. She is a beautiful ballet dancer and I am so proud of her for trying something new. Keep up the hard work and you'll get your toe shoes!

Here are a few pictures of the class performing at the senior citizens center. The pictures aren't that great, I was kind of behind them.
