Hair bun nets, bobby pins, stage and lighting rehearsals - it is all new to us and very exciting.
But, I noticed a few weeks ago some reluctance from our preschooler to attend Ballet classes. After some probing, I discovered that while the majority of the lesson was appealing, the rehearsal of the dance routine to be performed at the concert was putting her off. Remembering it all was overwhelming.
So, thanks to a very understanding dance teacher and the 'record' button on our camera, we have overcome this obstacle.
With the routine recorded and downloaded onto the home laptop, we have been able to learn the dance in small bite sized sessions spread across the day. We first focused on just the feet movements, then the arm actions and then finally, listening to the music for the cues.
It has been fun embracing this event as a family. Our preschooler is looking forward to the concert with more confidence now, our toddler son runs around with a tutu on, I can do a tondu - and even dadda knows a few of the dance moves.
