My two girls have both been involved in dance as early as three years old. At Limelight Studios in Wyomissing, PA, Candace currently takes Musical Theater classes, and Summer is taking a Jazz/Tap class. They both have taken many tap and ballet classes as well.

Recently when we were asked to review Ball Room dance and Beginning Social dance DVDs for free in exchange for our honest and unbiased opinion, we could hard wait to get the videos and begin!

One thing that we have definitely learned after receiving these videos is that WE HAVE A LOT TO LEARN!

BUT, that's OK because our instructors, Eldon and Alison, slowly break down each step to help learn the moves, AND since the lessons are on DVD, we can easily repeat areas that we struggle through and perfect those areas before moving on to the next steps. Although they are only 6 years old and 9 years old, my girls look forward to practicing and learning these dances in order for them to use them as they try out for plays, dances, and musicals at school and in the community. This weekend both girls will be auditioning for parts in Cinderella Kids and Matchmaker Jr performed by Genesius Theater in Reading, PA. In two weeks, they will be dancing in the Christmas Parade in downtown Reading. They are always putting on plays for Dad and me as well!

Now they can learn dances that they might not have otherwise had a chance to learn, and I can learn right along with them. Although they have much to master, here is a short video of my girls learning the first steps of swing dancing. Hope you enjoy! #dancelessons

We are using a second set of videos that we received for review as well to teach us Ballroom Dance. My girls always comment on the beautiful dances in the ballroom scenes of their favorite princess movies. Now they can learn to perform these dances as well. Here are some photos of them trying to master the stance and the first steps of the foxtrot. #ballroomdancing
