Phoebe's Ballet Class

For last Sunday's ballet class, parents were invited to be in the class to watch their little ballerinas in action. The dance school wanted to show the parents what the children had been learning in class. It is a closure to the pre-nursery class, as well as an introduction to the pre-primary class. There was not exactly a performance. The children showed the parents the ballet drills that they had been learning and practising.

It was very delightful to see the little ducklings turning into swans, though their movements need much more refining. I was very thrilled to see Phoebe doing her drills. Phoebe too, was very excited to see mommy and papa in class watching her :) Reuben was around too because Auntie Nia happened to be off that day and we thought we would bring him along to watch Jie Jie dance. My goodness. Reuben wanted to join in too. He kept walking towards the ballerinas, and sat beside them. I thought it was a little disruptive because Phoebe was very tickled and some parents might not like it. When I tried to restrain him from walking towards the ballerinas, he struggled and screamed. No choice, I had to take him out of the class and I missed watching Phoebe 'performing'. Actually, Reuben was not being naughty. He was just inquisitive and wanted to join in the fun. It was actually very funny and cute to see him sitting beside the little girls. But to be fair to other parents, I had to do something. Reuben and I strolled outside the classroom while Papa remained in the class and helped me to take some video of Phoebe in action.

I am very proud of her when I see her being very attentive in class. Nevermind that she still moves like a little duckling. She has indeed participated actively in class. She is also alert and cooperative. I am very proud of her, my little ballerina! (^_^)

Reuben's is coming... beware!! :) Haha :)
