Our little Jazzy Bug

Tonight Quinn donned her new leotard, tap shoes and ballet shoes and participated in her first class as a Jazzy Bug. It was just too cute not to take pictures and video (yes, I was that mom! I couldn't resist - it's what I do)! I didn't think to take video of the gymnastics part. I also tried to zoom in on Quinn as to avoid getting the other kids in the shots - just in case their parents weren't too keen on it. So, some of the pictures are blurry as a result but you get the whole idea.

Parents wait in the lobby part but can see the gymnastics room and tap/ballet room through glass walls. So, in the video, the noise you hear is from the lobby part, although you can kind of hear the tapping too.

Quinn is a very good student! She listened to the teachers, waits her turn and really tries to do it as instructed. In fact during one of the gymnastic exercises they were instructed to swing on a bar, walk across the balance beam, do a forward roll down one of those wedge mats and walk across some bars or something. At some point they changed the forward roll thing (I didn't see it either) as they moved the wedge mat under the balance beam. Quinn did her turn on the bars then walked across the beam and then saw that the wedge mat wasn't were it was. She sees it under the beam so goes over to it and, after thinking about it for a minute or two, does a forward roll UP the wedge mat as opposed to DOWN it, which would have been much easier! Hey, the instructions were to do a forward roll on the wedge and by God, she was going to do a forward roll on the wedge!
