Nutcracker camp

The girls had "Nutcracker Ballet Camp" this past week. It was about as lame as it sounds, but they loved it. It was for ages 7-10 but they let in the girls.  There was a range of abilities and ages, but they were not the worst by far. It was strange watching them because Elizabeth took it all very seriously trying so hard, but not being able to do some of the moves at the bar correctly. Miranda, who was giggling through much of the "presentation", didn't appear to be trying much at all, but had fairly good form throughout.  Elizabeth knew the piece much better than Miranda though.

They got to wear tutus and do a little recital, which was a two minute piece to the sugar plum fairy music. They did learn some new steps like Pas de Chat and Grand Jete and made some new friends so all wasn't lost.

Afterwards, one of the parents who I didn't know said, "Wow, she really has the gymnast body and moves huh?" You can guess who she was referring to.
