  21. thats why most teachers say kids should be at least 5/6 years old until they start dance classes. they should be aware of their bodies, have balance, etc.

  31. That is seriously one of the cutest things I've ever seen! She's clearly trying so hard and it's so cute to watch her try to move her feet, look over at the other girls and try to copy their feet, and then lose balance! What a cutie!


    And They Lived Happily Ever After...

  36. Aw, when she tried to move her feet with her hands (just like her teacher did), it was just so adorable.

    When I used to teach preschoolers through kindergartners, we always put little silver or gold stars (like teachers use) on the instep heels of their ballet shoes, and would tell the girls to point their stars to the mirrors. :)

  40. Ha! My friend posted this to my wall and I watched it so many times! Let me tell you... I can completely relate to this video. But I never write a kid off because the ones who don't give up are the ones who become the best dancers.

  45. She's got so much determination in her little body. I love two things, in particular here. One: How her hands and arms are trying to mimic what her feet are suppose to be doing and Two: The teacher's sweet patience. Thanks for sharing. It's a real pick-me-up on a Monday morning.

  90. This is just too cute! Love it :)

    ReplyDelete

  91. I agree with you Beatriz, when my son played soccer at age four, all the boys were running after that ball, well,
    not my son, he was too busy lying on his stomach picking all the clovers out of the ground, and you know what?, I was in stitches that when I was filming the camera was shaking so badly because I was laughing sooo hard. I think with that determination that little girl is going to be president some day!!!! LOL.

    ReplyDelete

  92. she is so cute! i want one

  93. Her little haircut reminded me of Anna Wintour, so that made it all the funnier - picturing AW struggling to get into first position!

    We should watch and appreciate what our children are working so hard on - whether or not it is at the pace of the others. Sometimes we really have to pay attention to see how hard they are working on getting control of their bodies! Adorable!!!! This little girl has such determination!

  97. Joanna, I'm thinking, "It's ok if your shoes aren't doing it." will have to be my new motto. (Though I'm not sure my shoes would appreciate being blamed for my blatant lack of coordination.)
    Anyhow... back to watching the video for the five zillionth time. Boy, it's a keeper.

    ReplyDelete

  98. My husband and I just cried tears of laughter while watching that poor little girl. That is SO our oldest daughter. She is her father's child, that's for sure. Thanks for the laugh!

  127. Adorable little girl, but I'm afraid that teacher needs to be fired. She is teaching them all the wrong stuff which can lead to serious joint injuries for those girls. I hope someone has managed to inform the parents of those girls that.
