I think my son would love ballet but I wonder how that works. Also, my husband is not thrilled about the idea... Were there any/many boys in the class?

I bet she is having a blast!!

I took ballet for 14 years, then dabbled in it some more after I moved to Alabama and took a few years off. DiscountDance.com has some great deals on everything you might ever need, and I've never had a problem with them.

We're fortunate that a dance school comes to the pre-school weekly so I won't have to cart her anywhere. On the other hand, the dance school comes to the pre-school, how do I say no? I took dance as a kid, I think my mom was hoping that I would get *some* grace out of it. She was tired of bandaging my kneed every time I left the safety of carpeted floors. As usual, lovely pictures of NikkiZ. Every day Audrey does her ballet moves, and she’s not even in class yet.

Although I second the suggestion of checking discount stores for cheap leos, stay away from the ballet shoes at Payless. They are too stiff to allow the child's foot to point correctly, which is a Very Big Deal in ballet.my kids' studio doesn't allow them. She is beautiful!
