Fun at Inland Northwest Ballet Dance Camp...

This summer at Sleeping Beauty Dance Camp, We learned how to warm up our muscles correctly, and how to perform beautiful port de bras! We also learned to perform demi plies, releves, battement tendues, retires, arabesque, pas de bourree, as well as many other ballet exercises!

Of course, we got to do our favorite...Imagination Dance!

We got to decorate beautiful Lilac Fairy Crowns, and wands, and

create foam pictures of the Sleeping Beauty Story!

We sat patiently and listened to Miss Janine or Miss Kaiti read the Sleeping Beauty Story...

We got to put on fairy tale make up...oh we love sparkles!

Shannon and Maddie helped us put on pretty purple tutus! After our class was over, the big girls got to come in and dance too!

We can't wait for Swan Lake Dance Camp next year! :)

Summer Dance!

Here at Spokane's own Inland Northwest Ballet, we are now in the midst of our summer dance camps...this year we are having our "Sleeping Beauty Dance Camp", and are having so much fun! Each day we dance, make crafts (today we decorated princess crowns!), have snacks, and read the story of Sleeping Beauty, and her very, very, very, long nap! We also had a very fun Hip Hop class, where we learned "skeeter" and "crazy leaps"...we enjoyed lots of giggles! Shannon, Meagan, and Maddie are being terrific class leaders for Miss Janine!

To those of you who we haven't seen this summer, we hope you are enjoying your vacation...Get some sunshine, play in the lake, do a triathlon, ride your bike, and sleep in! : )
