True and Liam have both taken Irish Dance with Hazel, and really love her. She's planning on coming to the Wild Child Open Gym at the Union Township Civic Center on Monday, the 17th at 1pm. So if you have any interest at all, this would be a great opportunity to come by, meet her, and observe or take a class! : ) She also teaches adult classes, if any parents are interested!


Although the girls are completely devoted to their current dance studies, I thought it might be fun to expose them to another dance genre, so we went and checked out the Irish Dance Class. Hannah opted not to participate (if it doesn't involve taps it doesn't appeal to her) but both Sophie and Emily took the class. Although they both had fun, Emily declared she would much rather take another ballet class then expand into Irish dance. There was a great turnout though, so if Hazel pursues it, she should have a great size class to work with.

Will was adorable, he so wanted to be part of the dance. He looked so cute trying to follow along with the dance steps and hand clapping.

Tabby loves Irish dance. I wish we could afford for her to take more dance classes, but we are at the end of our excess money for lessons. She also wants piano and riding lessons--both which are $25 an hour. We can't do Irish dance on Mondays since Tabby is going to be in Monday school next year. We are hoping that the class on Wednesdays keeps going so she can still do Irish dance.

I think they plan to do a homeschool class on Mondays, but most of the kids seemed younger (look at their size compared to Emily's, I think the are mostly under 8). I doubt Emily will take the class, she would rather add another ballet class.
