Pink ballet

Isabelle has now left fairy ballet and has joined a pre-primary class (which she calls "pink ballet"). Isabelle was one of the oldest in fairy ballet and has been doing it for a year. I wondered if she might be happier in the next class up. So, we trialled a class last week.

It was definitely a step up for her, and she found it hard. But the teacher thought she coped well and was happy for her to change classes.

From my perspective, there were pros and cons to changing class. The fairy ballet venue is better for us, and there's a uniform with pre-primary (so more $$$!). Pre-primary is on a more convenient day, and a smaller class. So I let Isabelle choose.

Isabelle changed into her new uniform just before class. A pink short-sleeved leotard. A floaty pink skirt. Pink ankle socks. Pink ballet slippers. Hair in a bun. And later, a pink cross-over cardy (the teacher said she can wear one of her own pink cardies in the meantime).
