Ballet!

We have been wanting to get Katy back into ballet again for some time but hampered by our back to the wall schedules and a difficulty in finding recommended classical ballet schools with a rigorous regime like the RAD Katy was doing in Hong Kong or the Cecchetti I grew up with in Australia.  We finally made it to a class at Eileen Blake School of Dance with Katy's friend Elsa. 

It is half ballet and half jazz, but seemed like it was really quite a serious but fun class.  Katy is keen to continue this class with Elsa BUT ALSO wants to try the Academy of Russian Ballet, which sounds like a very serious enterprise indeed.  I'm just paralyzed with the panic of how to fit everything in!

With Katy's background in Suzuki piano and RAD ballet, she thinks she really likes the serious and strict classes more than the fun and airy fairy classes.  Funny, since she really doesn't seem to be at all competitive and ambitious in her own right.  At least, not yet.
