Ballet

Clara had her first lesson at the BalletMet downtown on Saturday. This is a "serious" dance school. I was, it turns out needlessly, fretting about not having the right kind of socks, or not having Clara's hair pulled back in a bun the right way. At her level they aren't as picky, yet. Whew. Clara had a fun time after her initial reluctance to stay in class without her parents. Maybe we overemphasized the need to listen and follow directions, do what the teacher says... I guess we're officially ballet parents now!
