Anri started a ballet lesson on Tuesday and liked it so much we decided to sign her up!

The place was Nagano Ballet (Japanese only). Anri showed a willingness to try, in spite of a total lack of coordination, but hey! It was her first time in a ballet studio. While the other kids were all jumping in common time for the first three beats per measure, Anri was just jumping happily to no particular beat whatsoever. It was really funny to see!

At the end of the lesson, the teacher, who we imagine has to have a lot of patience to do her job, asked Anri if she liked the lesson. She did, so we got her little pink leotard and signed her up.
