Six of our offspring fit neatly into their class offering for dancers aged 2 to 3.5, capturing Molly, Dylan, Ava, Grace, Eloise and Mela! We almost felt sorry for the lone non-Theta Xi pupil in the class, with our boisterous group of dancers, parents and siblings taking over the classroom space, the play area, and the viewing area!

Molly was one of the youngest in the group, and needed to be held for the first four or five classes. Mommy got more instruction in dance and ballet positions than she's ever had in her life!
Luckily, by the second month of the class, Molly suddenly decided she was okay with participating in more than clean-up (which she excels at! she practically mows down the other girls in her race to put supplies away).
She now loves zooming around the class pretending to be a buzzing bee, running pell-mell toward one of the many mirrors in the class, and practicing high kicks with bells strapped to her ankles.

Practicing her "spider" form
"Hands on hips" is now a favorite everyday pose thanks to dance class!
Finally, here's our tiny dancer practicing her "tip-toes"
Molly loves Miss Renee, and we love our weekly Theta Xi mini-reunion!
