Are we human or are we dancers?

The post title quotes The Killers song, "Human." Every morning, on the way to school, we listen and sing (loudly) to The Killers! This is one of Charlie's favorite songs so when she started her very first dance class, she got very excited! I'm not sure she realized that she wouldn't be actually dancing to The Killers! Anyway, dancing for Charlie was like a fish to water! She loved, loved, loved it! She loved the outfits, changing from ballet to tap shoes, the songs, her teacher, her new friends... she was on Cloud 9!
A few poses from Charlie never hurt anyone... the girl is always good for a solid chuckle with these classic Charlie poses!





Charlie tried really hard to concentrate and do what the teacher asked. Charlie was the only new student that day so the other kids always knew what to do next! Hey, but Char-Char was a quick study! She caught on fast and loves showing mommy and daddy first and second position!







Chasse... oops I mean Kicks with Aubrey, her teacher
(I really need to learn my dance lingo if we are going to have a little dancer around!)



Charlie got a little chilly and needed her sweater...






Charlie loving the "Little Mouse-y Mouse-y... see them creeping" song!
Ryan loved this one too when she did dance.








Sticker time for good behavior. Look how nicely children sit when they are waiting for a reward!
Nice work Char -Char! Great first class!
