Elle is almost three now, but in her early twos she became completely fascinated with ballet and ballerinas. I poked around the internet a bit looking for a class that would enroll two-year-olds, and quickly found that most studios offered classes for three-year-olds at the youngest, and required potty training. Seemed to be the same with gymnastics, I found at my nine-year-old's gymnastics studio. Anything before that was more of a "mommy and me" type setup. Elle has since moved past her ballet obsession, and will soon be three anyway, but I did take note when I saw a flyer in the window of kids store Tula and Tupi in the Grove offering ballet classes for girls 2 - 4.A professional instructor teaches the 45 minute lessons every Saturday, and they sound TOO CUTE! Sounds like they are as much about the ballet-cuteness as about learning to dance: according to the website "We ask all ballerinas to come dressed in pink tights, black leotard, pink ballet shoes, tutu (if you want) , and hair in bun. " How adorable is that? If you want more info, you can call 305-441-2153 or visit this web page I found as an offshoot of the Tula and Tupi website. The brochure I picked up said the classes cost $15 per class and started on May 16.
