When I was 3 I started dance class! I was a Confidance Kid! see?!
(not the most flattering picture of Kynsie or I but it works!)
A LOT of good memories were made in that garage turned dance Studio! Yelling for Miss Music to turn on the music before practicing each dance, and waiting to hear the song Red Shoes, Great Balls of Fire, or Animal Crackers in my Soup.
They then turn to remembering the excitement of getting to help lay out the blue and gray mats for tumbling and being able to do a walking backbend the WHOLE length if the mat for the first time and getting to go to dinner with my teacher and a few other girls for winning the backbend balancing competition.
About a year before Kinley was old enough to start dance I saw Denna (my childhood dance teacher) at Sams Club and found out that she was retiring at the end of the season. :( I am not going to lie. My heart hurt a little.
My little Sister Kylee has been dancing with Jive Dance Studio and her concerts had been a lot of fun to watch! Lots of energy and Kylee seemed to love it.
They just had their big 2012-2013 closing concert at the covey center this last May and Nick and I took the girls! Kinley was in love at first sight! She had so much fun watching the girls! It was almost all we could do to keep her in her seat and from jumping onto the stage to join them!
The Moment it was over she started asking if she could go to dance class too.
She told us that we could watch her dance in the lights and then we could go buy her a flower just like we had bought for Kylee.
After a day or two more of talking NON STOP about dance class we signed her up!
She is Loving it and I am LOVING to watch her! Her teachers teach and dance with the same energy that helped create such good childhood memories for me, and I often find my mind wandering back and remembering those good times as I watch my tiny dancer making memories of her own.
Kinleys First Dance class!
