Dance
a
y












Today is dance day for the girls. Megan has 45 mins. of ballet and tap after lunch. Paige will have 45 mins. of tap tonight. Paige also has an hour of ballet on Tuesdays. This is Paige's 4th year of dance and Megan's 3rd year. They will have a dance recital at the end of May. The pose Paige is doing above is from the end of the dance they just did for Septembers tap class. She is balancing on the tip of her toe and the edge of her heel, and as you can see the tip of her tounge is sticking out....means she is concentrating hard. They danced to "Chatanooga Choo Choo" last month it was fun and fast.
Megan has done ballet for the past two years and now is adding tap. At first she was not excited about the tap, saying "it looks too hard"...well of course she was watching her sister tap. I told her your sister started tapping at age 5 also and she has been tapping for 3 years now. The first day she got to tap she had a big grin on her face and could hardly keep her feet quiet. She was tapping her toes as if trying to pound nails in the floor. I think she likes it now, but she says ballet is better.

Yeah, I'll have to dig up some pictures of the "Reil" dancers. We only did one year of dance before mom got tired of driving us across the river for lessons.
I tell ya dance beats the heck out of soccer...practice and games in the rain and cold...no thank you.
