How Can This Possibly Be!

Most of you know that dancing is a big deal to me and has been since a teenager so when I had a daughter who loves dance too and is very good at it it was a dream come true. But now I have a grandaughter who loves to dance and I must say I am going to just come right out and BRAG. Why do I need to brag...well look at these pictures. Madi is only 3 1/2 years old and look at what she can do. I don't know many other children that before they are 4 years can really point their toes, do actual correct positions like this and frankly pay attention and have the interest do it. So here goes please let me brag and look at the pictures!

This position is a retire or a passe and trust me kids usually do this with their legs in front not to the side and they certainly can't point their toes like this.


This is a tendue and again is holding arms correctly and fairly good pointed toe.

This one shows her determination and watching and listening to the teacher.


I love this bar work...I am so amazed at her.


Now this is Max her brother watching her at ballet class. Now don't we Murray's know how to teach our boys to respect a good ballet dancer! LOL
