For a while now Hailey has been telling me that she wants to be a ballerina. I know I should have looked into it over the summer but I kept putting it off. Finally I asked my friends on facebook the other night where I could take Hailey for ballet classes. I found a couple of places to look into and called them. Both places are going to let us try a free class next week to see if we like it. One is on Monday evening and the other on Tuesday evening.
Both groups are getting ready to order their costumes for the recital in the spring. So we’ll have to make a decision right away and pay for Hailey’s costume. We’ll also have to buy some dance shoes. The Monday night class does ballet and tap, so we’d have to get shoes for both of those. The Tuesday night class does ballet, tap and jazz. I don’t even know if jazz requires special shoes- I’m pretty clueless about dance related stuff. But I did find some really cute dance shoes on Zappos but I’m going to wait to make sure Hailey likes the class before I buy anything.
Both classes cost the same amount per month, but one class is one hour per week (the one with ballet, tap and jazz) and the other class is 45 minutes per week (ballet and tap). The shorter class is closer to our house and right on the way home from preschool. The hour long class is a little further away and not on our way home. So both have some pluses and minuses. I guess we’ll just try each one out and see what we think and pick the one that fits Hailey’s personality better. And then I’ll have to pay for the registration fee, the monthly fee, buy dance shoes and pay for the costumes. Ugh!! But I know Hailey will look soooo cute, and have tons of fun, so it’ll be worth it!
