This past week Emmie went to Jr. Broadway Camp at dance (Bailey Fine Arts). It was a 3 hour camp Monday thru Friday and this little girl worked HARD all week. She had soooo much fun and learned three pieces that she then performed at the end of the camp. She learned a tap, ballet, and theatrical/jazz piece. Emmie has only done the Creative Movement class at dance which is tap and ballet for 3-5 year olds. It's a basic introduction to tap and ballet. The camp was for 5-10 year olds so it was a big change from what she was used to. I was so impressed with how much she learned in a week, especially since this was her first "big girl" dance class. Poor thing is used to dancing for 45 minutes once a week so three hours every day wore.her.out. She was exhausted by the time she got home the first few days but it was definitely a happy exhausted. On Thursday they got to use stage makeup and paint their faces like cats. (Their jazz piece was from Cats.) Emmie LOVED having the makeup on and couldn't wait to show Ellie when we picked her up from My Gym camp!
The last day they had a recital and I was so proud of how much she had learned....three pieces in a week for a 5 year old is pretty impressive in my mind!
When we left the studio on Friday Emmie asked if it was the last day of camp and when I told her it was she immediately said that she couldn't wait to do camp again next year! (By the way, the child's goal in life is to be in the Dance Theater of Columbia's Wizard of Oz...she's obsessed!)
