Dance Classes!!!!!!

Monday, one of my favorite days of the week now. Why? Allow me to explain....

Mom used to take zumba with, whilst there she made a friend, that friend told my mommy about a dance class for Momma. Momma said it would be cool to find one where me and her could to together, and we can! To the same one! Our first one was last Monday, and it was SO MUCH FUN!
The first hour is ballet, (LOVE IT!) then the second is tap, (LOVE IT!) I love doing ballet, it's so much darn fun! We were doing things, like, uh, it's hard to explain, but I'll try! Here goes!

Ballet- Slide right heel in front of left foot near toes, jump up and switch feet. (make sense, you ballet peoples???) Another was again sliding the feet like explained above, only you turn on one foot, repeat, then on that second turn keep turning for a second turn, make sense?? I'll hopefully  maybe try to post a video of it, OK? Another ballet thing was leaping, only you have to have your arms and legs opposite. We, (as in me and Momma) were thinking you took 3 steps then leaped, it was working for the first time but not the repeats, then we figured out it was walk 2 steps and THEN leap on 3rd.... ah.... Makes more sense, ain't it?? I am so not limber! It's hard to do some of the stretches, so I am stretching every day now!

Tap- I don't remember alot of the tap, sorry! Maybe someday, (don't count on it) I'll post a video of all the dances on here! So, please be praying that I actually will do that, I mean the videos. 
Now, the lady, (the teacher of the ballet) is in her 80's a former rockette.... Yes, she's still teaching ballet! I think it's amazing! All the ladies there are very nice. I really like this one lady Liz, she was helping us, like in tap she was breaking down the dance steps to make it more, understandable! For the end 2 dances we sat out because it was a routine they had practiced, (we hadn't known that when we decided we were going to sit out, the teacher had told us to because that was enough learning for one night she said!) They were amazing! Maybe someday I'll video tape that also.. One was like a USA themed dance, Liz, she's pregnant, and she was doing cartwheels and splits and everything! It was amazing!!! They guys had fake guns they were twirling and things, and the other girls had batons, and then they did like can-can dancer moves, you know, lining up and kicking??? Yeah! It was really cool and we had an awesome time together! YAY FOR MONDAYS! I'm always like, "I want it to be Monday!" Lately I've been doing that.... haha!
