Dancing Quinn (Queen)

See how I made a pun?

This spring we enrolled Quinn in a Creative Dance class through the Gaithersburg Community Center. It was a 7 week class (that I have incidentally enrolled her for again, starting next weekend) that took her about 4 weeks to get comfortable enough to actually participate in! This is a class that parents can't participate in, so we wait outside the door, looking in from time to time. Week 1 went bad - she took one step into the room and cried her eyes out, running back for the door. This went on for about 3 more weeks, each time, a little more time spent in the class, and less time running back to my arms making sure I was still on the other side of that door waiting for her! By Week 5 another little girl named Maho came up to her, took her by the hand and BAM! That was that - Quinn never looked back! She absolutely loves the class now!

Well, on Week 7, the last class, the parents were allowed to come in and watch the show. Man, was it CUTE!!! I managed to get a few precious shots of my kiddo in one of her many leotards, having a ball with Miss Myia!

My friend Gideon still says "Queen." He's of course saying Quinn but the Israeli accent makes it Queen. Love it.

Great photos! Glad to hear she finally warmed up to the experience.
