Dancing might not be her thing

Ella has been taking dance for a while now at Dance Workshop in Arlington. She loves going and loves wearing the shoes and tutu's. They informed us (last minute) that the last classes for the summer session will be a performance and the parent could come. We were sooooo excited to watch her do her THANG since she love to get our attention and put on shows at home. We even had some family support show up to watch this cute little girl dance it up. I got caught in traffic and was 2 minutes late. If I would have known NOT to walk in the front door because the back door was quieter, then my Tiny Dancer might have stayed calm. As soon as she saw me, the tears started and she did not want to perform a thing. The teacher even tried to hold her while dancing but Ella was not having it. After 45 minutes of Ella sitting with us watch her friends dance, to everyone surprise, she jumped up when the tumbling mats were brought out. She was the best little tumbler in there. Guess we have a gymnast on our hands!

Doing just fine before I got there! Doesnt she look precious!

Now she is not a happy dancer.

I am begging her to go dance!

Tumbling mats did the trick. Look no help from the teacher.

All by herself!

Smile!

All done! Ice cream time!
