Life is a dance, from one stage to the next

Dance is the only art of which we ourselves are the stuff of which we are made.
- Ted Shawn
On Friday,
Caily began her first dance class

at Kennedy Dance Theater

At first, she thought it was a little scary.
The other girls were a little older and accustomed
But the instructor held her until she was ready...
and when she was ready...
She DANCED.

She JUMPED
She LAUGHED.
and she didn't want to go home.


We think this will be good for her
in so many different ways.
A structured enviornment, other small children to socialize with, learning to use her body and develop confidence and skills, and outlet for self-expression, a feeling of independance, taking instructions and listening...and so much more.

More than that....I just know she's going to love it.
Isn't she so cute?
