Well, we tried dance class, again. Yes, I want to like taking my kid to lots of events, but I find it difficult. I was a very active kid and I am struggling with not the fact that my kid enjoys what she is doing, but the other parents are INSANE! I mean, my kid is 4 shouldn't they be enjoying everything they are doing? No, I take my kid to the uppidy, nice Mid-Town Sacramento's Art Beast. An awesome place for kids, but I HATE some of the scenes I have witnessed. Now, it may just be that I am a teacher, or maybe I understand child psychology, but yelling at your grandchild, mind you (side note this is another grandma NOT ours yelling at her own granddaughter who is not too much older than Izzy), "You idiot! Either dance or get off the mirror". Okay, I know care-takers have their moments, but in public, to me she might as well have spanked her. I was shocked! Do not come into class, with my kid around, and say something like that and at ballet class mind you.
So back to dance class. We loved it. It is not very structured, but the teacher is young and learning, but very talented. It was a great time for Izzy to be with other kids her age and I like that she is moving. Not sure if we will extend out membership because it if we are not in town, then it would be a 90 mile trip for us and is that really worth it. She has reinforced her ballet positions and gotten practice in following directions. We also love the added benefit of art time and dramatic play time that we have a sang for "Play, ballet, go home". So for now, we wait till our next activity. I am eyeing swim lessons for July.
