Gracie’s Hip Hop Class

Gracie started a fun Hip Hop class last week and she is really enjoying it!  I originally signed her up through the FAC so the classes would be there, but it turns out she was the only one that signed up {I’m still surprised by that}.  They decided just to merge us into a class that already existed and we go to the dance studio now instead.

Today was her second class.  It is not that easy to take picture/video of her class so I don’t have much to share.  I am hoping that they do what they did at Gwynie’s dance class and let us in on the last day to see the routine and take pictures.

This is the *ONLY* window that looks into the studio where Gracie’s class is held.  I can’t see into it unless I stand on my tip toes.  You can also see by the people everywhere that it is definitely designed for the dancers and not the spectators. 

I hold Gwynie up to the window whenever she asks, but she got pretty creative trying to get a glimpse of sissy dancing. Gracie says that she can see Gwynie peeking in under the door while she’s in class.

One of the things that Gracie really likes about the class is that they jumped into learning a routine. You won’t be able to hear the music {only the voices of the people with me in the hall} but they are dancing to C’est La Vie.  Here is their routine so far:

You probably noticed that Gracie is the only one not wearing ballet attire.  The class description said to wear athletic wear and jazz shoes, but when we showed up all the girls had on leotards and tutus.  I figured Gracie would notice and want to get a leotard. After her class I offered to get her one to which she replied, “Mom, hip hop dancers don’t wear ballet clothes”. Oh…how silly of me!
