A dance school near our house was holding an open house in honor of National Dance Week. The week's official spokesperson was Angelina Ballerina - a favorite in our house. In addition to meeting Angelina in person, the kids could watch her perform, see a dress rehearsal of "Swan Lake" by some of the school's students, touch ballet slippers and costumes, listen to and act out an Angelina Ballerina story, and take a dance class. I was a ballet dancer for almost 10 years before I was injured, so this kind of thing was right up my alley. I was even more excited when I saw that Caroline really liked it too. It was such a fun afternoon - just us girls!
Caroline looks at the day's program. Later, we watched Angelina demonstrate some dance steps.
Our cousins Morgan and Camryn came along, too. Here are Morgan and Caroline with Angelina.
The interactive story time was a favorite activity.
Here, the girls are getting a chance to try out some of the steps for themselves.
It was a fabulous afternoon!
Sounds like a great day!!
