End of Hip Hop

Carter started taking a hip hop class at DC Dance Factory in August.  After the 45 minute hip hop class was a 30 minute tumbling class.  So we were at the dance studio from 5 to 6:15 pm every Monday.

Carter never really loved hip hop.  He didn't object to going and happily walked into his studio room, but he was never very excited.  He didn't know anyone in the class and never really made a good friend.  And he has my rhythm and ability to copy an instructor so he didn't excel in the class.  He did like the tumbling class though that followed the hip hop class.  And he was super happy after class.

In January the studio asks that you commit for the rest of the year so that the kids can begin preparing for the June recital.  So in December I finally asked Carter if he wanted to continue to do hip hop or stop.  He was very excited when I offered that up and asked to stop.

I'm so proud of him though for sticking with something that was difficult for him.  He never really learned any dance moves but he did learn how to skip :)

Here is a video of Carter in his last class in December.  He is in the middle row on the right (Carter moved up to that row when he turned 5 - he was pretty excited about that!).

Rylan and I are also happy to not be sitting in that crazy crowded lounge during dinner time.

As an alternative activity, I signed the boys up for preschool gymnastics again at Harpeth Gymnastics.  The boys are in a class with Missy and Suzy's boys and loving it.
