Little Gym for Ella

A few weeks ago, Ella started her first Little Gym class. I enrolled her in the Jazzy Bugs group because it includes some dancing skills too. They start out with tap and ballet and then they move to the gym for the gymnastics portion of their class.

The beginning part of her class is held in a back room, with no seating for the parents. So we get to watch them practice their dance moves on a TV in the kitchen area (kind of a bummer, and Daniel thinks it's just creepy). Hopefully I'll be able to sneak in some pics of her dancing.

Listening to instructions from her teacher...
Working on her beam skills...she's still a little cautious...
Walking over the "obstacles", working on her balance...
Forward roll...
A little work on the bars...she's a little cautious on these too...
For her second class (and for the rest of the season), we got her some dance outfits, tap shoes, and ballet shoes. Can you tell she's excited...
