Parents Night

Last week was parents observation night at Step Ahead Gymnastics were the girls have their dance and gymnastics class. They let the parents, grandparents and whoever else you want to bring, come in the last 30 mins of the class and the kids get to show what they have learned so far this school year.

Bree's class was first, they were showing us how they do their circle time to stretch. Bree was being very shy, but participating.
Showing how they stretch their legs. Check out the little girl beside the girl in the pink sweatshirt. She was basically doing a split by the end of this song.

So after the circle time they stood up and showed us several of their dance moves, but Bree got super shy here and decided not to participate anymore. She really doesn't like lots of people watching her so she retreated. But her teacher assures me she is usually the life of the class when we are not there. :)

Even thought she has a little stage fright she was still a cutie showing us what she had learned. I just hope she gets over the stage fright by May, because I already paid for her costume for their May Recital. :)

Next we went over to Katie's gymnastic class. Here she is showing us all her moves on the bars.
Just a swingin'
Then they showed us some of their floor moves. Forward rolls, backward rolls, handstands and even one handed cartwheels. She was too fast to get a picture of her cartwheel but she does it really well.


Then finally it was the beams. She did so good walking on the beams and stopping to pick up her bean bags and keeping her balance. She even did a forward roll on the back beam. After the new they move to beams that are up off the floor. Yikes!

Katie was so proud to show off all of her new found skills. She LOVES her gymnastics class.

Chandler has been begging to take a gymnastics class. I think Santa is going to pay for some lessons in January.
