Ella’s been taking dance classes on Thursday and Friday nights since last fall and today she got to perform for an audience. It was her “Teen Beginning Swing & Ballroom” performance, and Ella’s class danced to “Roll Over, Beethoven.” There were just five who performed, and all girls. To create a partner for one, the instructor filled in.

It was quite fun watching Ella dance as it’s obvious how much she loves it. She chose dance this year over soccer, and it certainly suits her better. What was also fun was watching the other performances. Achingly adorable, of course, were the small kids. For instance, there was a “Pre-Ballet/Tap” class that consisted of probably 12 four-year-olds. Talk about cute!

But, still, not as adorable as Ella.
