This past school year Julia was in a ballet and tap class at Chrissy's Dance Academy. She loved the class and did a lot of "practicing" at home. The schedule, every Friday at noon, was a little tough because it was during Blakes nap time. Early release days were especially hectic with a crazy dash from picking the kids up from school at 11:45 and then driving to her class 15 minutes away. We usually ended up a few minutes late.

At the end of the year we ended up not doing the final performance because of their crazy scheduling. They had 50 dance performances set and Julia was number 45 and the recital started at about 6:30. That meant that she would be performing really late at night around 9:30 and would have to stay in the back behind the stage for the full 4 hours while everyone performed. It sounded pretty miserable for a 4 year old and we decided that it would not be a good situation for the whole family. We didn't really tell Julia that she wouldn't do the performance. Well into the summer she did keep asking me when she was going to do her performance. I video taped a run through of her performance dance during her class.
