Kinderdance

Camden takes dance on Tuesday evenings.  It's only a 30 minute lesson at the local ballet academy.  It's called Kinderdance and is a way to introduce 3-5 year olds to music and movement.  I think she loves the 5 minutes before class when she gets to climb and dance around the lobby almost as much as the class itself. 
 


Notice the one black sock and one white sock.  It's useful for directing the kids on which foot to move or direction to go.  Pretty ingenius if you ask me.  She gets a sticker for each class she attends.


We are trying to expose Camden to multiple activities in these early years to help her select what she'd like to be involved in long-term.  I don't think she will choose dance so we might not go past this spring in another class unless she asks for it.  We will probably continue with swimming on some level (there is a good club team in our town) and perhaps introduce her to some form of martial arts in the fall and soccer in the spring.  We want her to be active without being those parents who are running crazy from one activity to the next.
