Keeping on my toes...

I absolutely love ballet. I could dance all day long! This summer I'll be taking Ballet Foundations 2 at the Ballet West Academy. I can't wait. Every day I stretch and practice.

I always take time to stretch so I won't pull any muscles!


Then I practice my Pliés in each of the five positions - two Demi and one Grand. This is third position.


Miss Lisa always says to use pretty "ballet fingers"!


I'm working really hard on my turnout.

I love attending ballet class with my friends, and I love performing at our recitals! I also love to watch ballet, I got to see Cinderella performed last year and it was so beautiful. Have you ever been to a ballet?

    I love the second photo! These are great. :)

    I used to do ballet and we did a few performances. I also saw a few ballets. :)

    Stunning pictures! You look like a great ballet dancer, Piper. And you look so beautiful. We're not ballerinas, but we loved to watch the ballerinas, when we used to have dance recitals.

    You look like quite a dancer, Piper! :-) Me, I've taken ballet lessons before, but I wasn't too good. It's so graceful, and I lack gracefulness. In that case, maybe I better rejoin a ballet school!

    Stunning pictures, Piper! Becky has been forcing me to join her ballet, so maybe I will take it up again--I did ballet when I was younger. Libby saw The Nutcracker broadcast live from the Royal Opera House to a local cinema and it was amazing!

    Beautiful pictures...as usual! :) You are an ideal balleria, absolutely beautiful! I can tell you enjoy Balley. Thanks for sharing. I, like any other girl, wanted to do ballet once. I don't know why I never did...I guess I got more entertained by baseball and writing. I got to go to the Nutcracker in December, though and it was amazing!

    I went to see the nut cracker when I was seven for a class trip. I would have brought my doll, but, I didn't find out about American Girl until I was nine. Also, toys weren't allowed in school.

    Man, seeing you dance ballet takes me back to when I did ballet in first grade! You look like you are doing great! :D

    I have a friend who is a ballet dancer.. I usually go yo her performances. She's done the Nutcracker a couple of times and I think Swan Lake.
