The girlies

I love to video Jane moving around. Here you can identify some rather advanced vocabulary: while this is strictly improvisational, it is clear that she knows a grand plie in seconde position (the squat), spotting during her chaines en place (she does something funky with her head when she turns), paddle steps (bouncing off the ball of her right foot), heel leads (walking), general musicality, and finally, head banging. She has developed this technique into a side-to-side motion rather than the traditional back and forward. Genius. Also, she would randomly stop and say a quick prayer. Hilarious. And Spiritual, of course...



I know you've all been dying to see Audrey smiling, right? Well Sarah Bennion was here and let us borrow her camera (we're missing ours again) and hooray! We got some good ones!

I love watching kids dance, but man is the commentary better when it comes from someone who knows dance!
You know what's good about Adam throwing his head in Audrey's photo shoot? He gives scale - she's so new and little! :)
