Last week, Ellie started a tot dance class through our park and rec department.
Every Tuesday morning this summer, we make our way to the community center and watch a group of little girls, ages 2-3 ‘dance’ for 30 minutes. It is ADORABLE.
At her first class, Ellie was a little shy.
I think she spent more time running over to give me kisses that class then she actually did dancing.
By the end of the class, she was ready to dance.
After her first class, Alex and I decided that she needed a cute skirt and dance shoes to go with her pink leotard (none of these items are required for the class).
When they arrived in the mail over the weekend she was so excited. All she wanted to do was dance.
Today she had her second class and when we pulled into the parking lot she squealed in glee and was ready to dance! She did a great job at her second class and I think her favorite part was the spin.
What do you think?
After class was over she began to beg to go to class again.
Twinkle Toes: The Movie brings all the charm and excitement of the Twinkle Toes brand to the screen in a fun-filled, original film that will have girls dancing out of their seats. The sweet and adorable Twinkle Toes character that girls have come to know and love overcomes her most secret fears and learns to celebrate her individuality with energy, pizzazz and super-cute shoes!
Filled with music, friendship, laughter and heart, parents and their daughters will want to watch Twinkle Toes: The Movie again and again. This charming story of courage, self-expression and finding the “sparkle” within will inspire Twinkle Toes’ legions of fashionista friends to develop their own talent and achieve their dreams.
The animated star of SKECHERS’ Twinkle Toes footwear line, Grace “Twinkle Toes” Hastings, is a fashion icon for the under-13 set. Hip, flamboyant and original, Grace embodies a combination of sparkle, sass and style, which has made SKECHERS’ Twinkle Toes footwear a favorite of celebrity kids and fashion divas alike. The SKECHERS Kids collection, including Twinkle Toes, is currently the number one children’s footwear brand in the United States.
SYNOPSIS
Twinkle Toes: The Movie is a sparkly, fun-filled adventure that will make audiences want to get up and dance! Grace “Twinkle Toes” Hastings has a big secret: she gets terrible stage fright in front of anyone except her fluffy friend Walter. As Grace works to overcome her fears, and makes some super-cool friends at her new school, she discovers that it’s OK to be herself and shine!
I sat down over the weekend with Libby, Alexander and Miss Ellie to watch Twinkle Toes and found it to be a quite enjoyable flick. It is a great movie for those aspiring dancers in your life and it even got my kidlets up off the couch and dancing along with the movie, especially this scene when Grace AKA Twinkle Toes gets her new shoes.
After seeing my kids get up and dance along and showing more interest in dance, I would recommend this movie to any parent who encourages their child to dance. Both the Alex and I enjoy watching dance shows and hope that someday we can take a dance class or two as well. Until then, I will just keep dancing in the comfort of my home with the kids!
You can find Twinkle Toes: The Movie in select stores or grab it online.
