Nutcracker Ballet Clinic Pics

I'm the worst at remembering to take pics during the ballet clinic (too busy dancing!), but thanks to the cutie above, I couldn't miss that shot!

During a ballet clinic, we usually focus on one ballet (or I make up my own). We read the story, listen to the music, make a costume (see the mouse masks and the toy soldier helmets above?), and learn a short recital for the ballet. We also usually decorate our background for our setting--this year we made the big Christmas tree with all our decorated little ones.
It's amazing every time how much a group of kiddos can learn in just 2 1/2 hours of practice!
Thanks to all who participated this year! I'm looking forward to our next clinic
(Valentines Clinic, February 11)!
