BALLET

Jordana still loves to take ballet. This year we changed schools and she is now dancing with the Santa Rosa Dance Theater. I wasn't sure about this school at first, because it is a serious ballet school. Most of the high school kids spend their summers training with the American Ballet Theater on scholarships they earn and they have just as high expectations of the young kids too. However, Jordana just loves it and is doing well. She got to dance in the Nutcracker this past Christmas and will likely get moved up a level in the Fall.

A few months ago the school decided not to hold their annual spring ballet performance due to the economy, so they've been letting parents come in and watch at the end of the class where the kids put on a short performance. Thankfully, I remembered to bring my camera one week and was able to capture a few shots.

SOCK HOP FUN

Ricky and Jordana had a great time at the Bennett Valley Schools annual Sock Hop. It is held at the Veterans Building and all of the kids in K-6 are allowed to attend with their parents. That means that there are about 750 kids dressed up in 50’s gear who are grooving to the oldies.

Jordana spent the time running around with her friends, Ruby, Aurora, and Cora.

Ricky had fun hanging out with Janie

The group dances are always the very best part. The DJ for this even is fabulous and does an expert job leading the kids through the Hokey Pokey, Limbo, Hand Jive, and various other dances. The kids just have a blast.

The highlight of the dance is when each grade gets to go up on stage and do their own special “decade” dance for the crowd.

The 4th Graders did the Hand Jive

The Kindergartners did another cute dance from the 50’s.
