Yesterday was Elspeth’s last Highland class. Now, will it be her final class ever or simply of the spring? We will revisit that in the fall. That said, Elspeth loves her teacher Miss Nancy and what is not to love about a teacher who gets it and knows that dance class is as much about making friends and having fun as it is about learning to dance….at least when you are starting out. Elspeth has not yet mastered the art of hopping SOOO the actual dancing is highly amusing. She has tried hard and looks adorable doing it; smiling the whole time.

Stretching at the beginning of the class.
“Okay Miss Nancy. I am ready to go. Can you see my nice pizza feet (aka first position)? And how about my nice meatball hands (aka first position)? You can start the music anytime.”
This was the funniest part of the class. All of the girls were lined up at the barre so that they would have support while standing on one foot trying to shed. Elspeth was the only one almost hanging from the barre.
Thank you Miss Nancy for a most excellent introduction to Highland Dance. Even if the wee one can’t actually dance yet. She had a blast trying.
