Flashback: October Ballet Bring a Friend Day

Every fall for Halloween, N's ballet company has a bring a friend to ballet class and wear a costume day. Her good friend, S, has been able to come for the past two years. N was Cinderella this year (more pics to come from my hubby from Halloween day, and our homeschool halloween day with all of her friends).

I don't like spending a lot of money on costumes, so I try to borrow or buy on ebay/craigslist. This year, N asked to be Cinderella, so I had the idea of taking her blue satin dress and adding some princess *poof*. So I bought some fabric, and with the help of my mom, embellished the dress. I made a choker out of a bag handle, the headband we already had, so the only other thing I had to buy were some satin gloves (we forgot to wear the gloves and choker for ballet). I thought she made a great Cinderella. The best part was that T-Max was her pumpkin, and little Jude Dude was Gus from the Disney version!

Here are some pics from the day that I took.

Ballet Spring Class

A few weeks ago N had another visitor's week at her ballet class. She's really learned a lot, and continues to enjoy it, regularly wearing her ballet slippers around the house. Here are some highlights from that day:




Dressed as Madeline with her teacher.


This is one of my favorite poses. She's pretty good at pointing her toes.


Her curtsey!


She won't smile for pictures anymore.
