Watch Week

Every few months they have watch week at Ella's dance studio where the parents get to come into the class and watch. I think this was the best hour of my life. I'm used to Ella being kind of shy so I kind of expected hers to stand there and do nothing since there were a lot of strangers watching her class. She totally surprised me though. She danced and twirled and had the best time. It was so fun to watch her.

Occasionally she would stare off into space or get really into watching the teacher and forget to dance, but her teacher was really nice and would hold her hand and encourage her to follow along. I really love her teacher too. She's really encouraging and positive, but she also wants them to get the steps correctly and will take the time to individually help them do the step.

I think her favorite part was lining up at the end of the room to practice their steps. They would all race down there. Some of the steps they did were kind of hard. I think they felt really confident with lining up. It was something they were all good at and excited to do.


They even had the moms dance for one song.



She was really outgoing during tap and was stomping her feet around like crazy. I was really proud of her, and I was glad to see that she was enjoying the class. I can't wait to see her Christmas show in December.
