This week Scout took her first dance class. It was a 4 day “camp” of sorts called Tutus and Tiaras. The class was 2.5 hours a day. The would start with some dance fundamentals and movement then they would do a craft. Then story time, a little pre ballet and the last thing they would do was sit and watch one of the company dancers do a short performance. Scout has loved it! Now gross motor skills have never been her strength. She had mastered the pincher grasp at 6 months but didn’t walk until about 13 month. She can color in the lines but she hasn’t quite figured out skipping. So hopefully this kind of class will help her become a little more familiar with how her body works and moves.
This is one of my favorite moves from her performance today

Wanted you to know that one of the “helpers” came into the library during that week and said she was having as much fun as the campers. It was someone who knew Scout from before, and she was enjoying being with her again. I’m sorry I don’t remember who it was, but it may come to me eventually. Old age and kid’s schedules rattle my brain all the time. Is she going to continue with dance? The little guys always get the best ovations during recital……
