There are few things more adorable than watching a bunch of little girls tip-toe'ing around in ballet slippers, tutu's and buns. They're about as graceful as elephants (at a certain young age), but just watching them, you can tell they feel like true ballerinas. We have had so much fun watching our preschooler during her ballet classes, explaining what color her imaginary princess dress for the day is, or where she will go with her magic wand.
As she does her stretches and prances around in a less than semi-straight line, my heart always swells. I can tell she's trying her hardest as she proudly peers over at me frequently to be sure mommy is paying attention.
If you're looking for a studio to send your little one, equipped with a bar and floor-to-ceiling mirrors, you must check out The School of Ballet Arts. We considered another venue (which I won't mention by name) that offers many activities, and even they recommended I try this studio. Starting at 2 1/2 years, through elementary and teen, there's a class for every age. Check out the schedule of classes here.
