Dance Is Their DNA

Two weekends ago, Nana had her ballet performance on stage. As in auditorium type of stage.  It was her first major recital since she became a regular student under the Sol Fernandez School of Dance. She'd gone some way since the First Position blog in June. And she still has loooong way to go. But with baby steps and passion, we hope to get there soon. Of course, I was a proud mommy! Much as I dislike stage-mothers, I'm getting to be one. And shameless about it too! Isn't that what motherhood is all about? Hahaha! So scroll, click and be entertained. Kudos to all the teachers, dancers and staff of SFSD. Much love and pride to you all :-)

A Different Beat

After a lifetime of waiting, my daughter Kiki finally got to perform at the CAP Building Auditorium. And was she ecstatic! Like a reaching for the stars thing. Being the youngest, Kiki usually trails after her older siblings since she learned how to walk. Always trying to squeeze in everything that they do. Wanting to be BIG so she can catch up with them too. And her lifelong ambition to date was to go onstage at CAP Auditorium like her Nana & RG did before.

Are you a ballet mom? Do you spend your weekend with a ballet class inserted in your precious schedule? I do. So let's talk.

There are a lot of reasons to send your daughter, or son, to an esteemed school of dance. It could be that their school has a program to offer, or you felt that your offspring should learn basic gracefulness, or that you ultimately believe that your child has the talent – inherited or otherwise – that needs to be explored and nurtured for a possible future in the performing arts. Whatever your reasons are, it starts at an unholy weekend hour of 9:00 am, rain or shine.
