Margot finished her first term of ballet with a recital today. We specifically picked this ballet class because it's very laid back. Basically, the girls just want to wear their spinny skirts and twirl around a lot. I heard horror stories of super-strict ballet instructors and 3-year-olds complaining about sore muscles. So, we were happy to find a low-key, fun class.
The highlight for all the little girls (and one boy) was that the daddys were coming. A bunch of Dads tumbled in, sneaking out of work early for the performance. It was hardly a blockbuster, mostly a regular class with the exciting prospect of some post-party pizza for the kids and a bottle of wine for the parents.
They started with a poorly coordinated modern dance that involved some jazz hands and pretending they were stars. From there, they performed two Mary Poppins numbers - "A Spoonful of Sugar" and "Let's go Fly a Kite." It was all pretty random and sweet.
The highlight for us: Margot was so hungry after the show that she ate three slices of pizza. Anyone who has seen Margot eat (or avoid eating) knows this is incredible.
