Just Call her Grace

I have blogged before about Lil Bit's dancing. Unfortunately for her (and maybe fortunately for her daddy), she gets her dancing capabilities from her mother. Which means she is entirely uncoordinated.

She started out great . . .
Definitely concentrating, but doing a good job. She has great posture, which helps her look graceful in still shots.


But then the trouble begins . . .

She is doing this move beautifully--but it is the wrong position! Notice where the other kids' feet are, and where Lil Bit's feet are.

And then the funny concentration faces start . . .

I don't thinks she is doing the right move here, either, but apparently no one was.

Next the class moved from ballet to jazz. I think we may have found her niche.

Here she is doing a jazz-walk across the studio and she actually looked pretty graceful and kept the rhythm of the music very well.

But she caught me off guard when, during a short break, Lil Bit broke out in her own little jazz dance to the music that was still playing . . .

She incorporated a fast little box step and moved her arms and hips in perfect time.

And darn-it-all, she was GOOD! I was floored.

Her poor daddy.
