Yes, those are my legs and my feet and my well used pointe shoes!
Well, tonight I decided I was a dance snob. My DD was able to try out a couple of dance classes @ a local dance studio. She loved one of the classes and I hated it. I want her to learn and grow and was not too impressed with the class. What to do what to do---teach her myself. Teaching her myself would be crazy?!?
I know this is mindless dribble for many but I needed to air it somewhere--any suggestions? I do want her to take a dance class and one that she likes but not the one she took tonight. There are a couple other classes she can try so maybe she and I can come to a consensus.
I guess when you take gymnastics at the age of 3ish begin dancing at the age of 5ish, majored in dance in college and had your own studio for about 5-6 years you become a picky and know what you want and do not want form a dance studio and perticular in where to send your child and what type of place to send her.
That about sums up our evening--except for the fact that she was really anxious to get to YW for the combined activity--and dance made it so she was a bit late. She LOVES YW's and Tuesday activities!

I thought you were a great teacher! I can still remember class. I was always in the back of the line because I was the tallest :)
I need to find a photo of your dance class (and Post it)-you were all so adorable & 3 years old--amazing how you all have grown and several of you have children or will be anyday---
I totally understand!! I am the same way with Piano. Bailey has had lessons for 2 years and on his 3rd teacher. Can't seem to find the right match. I did try teaching him. It worked for awhile and then we would get lazy because I had other things I needed to be doing. It is a hard call.
I don't think knowing alot about dancing makes you a snob. It makes you know what you are doing. Is this the first dance class she has ever taken? Is she going to like it enough for it to make a difference that it isn't what you want? Just some points to ponder.
She is the one who decided she wanted dance lessons and she decided against the Tuesday class b/c it interfered with YW's. We found a much better class today that she liked and I approved of!!!
