Eliana ballerina

During the school year, Eliana has been taking a combined ballet and tap class at a local dance studio.  She really likes ballet and incorporates the moves she's learned in class into her extemporaneous dances that she does every once in a while in the living room.

It was our routine every Wednesday evening to pile into the car as soon as Daddy came home from work to drive her to class, with Karina tagging along.  At the end of the year, the class culminated in a performance, on a stage (which was very important to Eliana--she likes being on stage she says), in front of a large audience.  As the big date approached, when asked if she was excited about the performance, she would say "sort of."  When probed further, Eliana articulated that she was both excited and nervous at the same time.

In the end, the class did very well and the crowd was very pleased!
