Ballet Shoes

My sister and I take dance classes, downtown. Pearl takes ballet, with all of the other excited "ballerinas." She wears a pink leotard, pink tights, and a tutu. And you can't forget the ballet shoes.
The first few weeks of ballet Pearl wore white ballet slippers. They were very cute. Most of the time the shoes are lying around waiting to be twirled, and spun. But I remember when I was her age whenever the last scene in the Nutcracker came on I would try to copy "Clara." Even when I was younger than Pearl on Saturday nights I would put on my Minnie Mouse tutu and dance to The Lawrence Welk Show that still airs at 7:00 PM. Once, while I was waiting for my Jazz class to start, I saw Pearl do her "princess spins" all alone with the teacher. The other kids in the back waiting were really scared. It was very amusing to look at the scene.

This is my second year of dance. I am active in Jazz, Tap, and Hip Hop.
