~ aina ballerina ~
as we have discussed about one and a half year ago, aina wants to be a ballerina. wanting to be the same thing for 1.5 years for a three year-old kid is pretty consistent. so we decided to enroll her into a ballet class.
last saturday, we went to visit Cheng Ballet Academy and watch the Baby Ballet class. aina sat in front of the glass door for the whole 45 minutes, eyes glued to the kids skipping, jumping and stretching.
on the way home, she said she would like to join the class. all the weekend classes are full, so we decided to do trial on the friday class. which is today.
since this is a trial class and she doesn’t have the uniform yet, she wore one of her favorite dress with pink leggings. she was a little shy at the beginning…
but as soon as the teacher approached her and introduced her to the class, she didn’t even bother to look at us behind the glass door anymore. she was so into it, that even during the break, she refused to go to us and prefer to stay in the class, jumping and twirling around…
pardon the blurry photos… it seems that the lighting there was too dark for iPhone camera :(
this was the only photo with her moving that isn’t too blurry.
she did pretty well… she tried to follow all the teacher’s instructions.
although towards the end of the class, her attention span became short and she started doing weird things, like out of nowhere, ran to the mirror and kissed herself. or laid on the ground by herself…
but it’s really cute to see little kids in tights and leotards, jumping and skipping around, mingling in the corner and all…
aina said she loved the class and would like to do it again next week. she had tons of stories to tell on our way home. so we bought the uniform, paid the registration fee and next year’s class fee.
aina is officially enrolled in a ballet class. the very first class ever for her (since she hasn’t gone to school yet).

Pasti ini bener2 “dream comes true” buat Aina, udah ngidam 1.5 taun! Lucu banget ya dia.. Ntar difoto lagi ya kalo udah pake seragam :)
Gue yakin dia ga bakal tidur menjelang jam lesnya *lirik Nara yang lagi ngorok*
iya, beneran dream comes true, hihihi. tapi dulu sih sempet mo dilesin juga, tapi dianya yang ga mau. katanya takut sendirian… masih separation anxiety, kali ya? sekarang katanya udah berani… malah rada nyolot :P
nara kan udah sekolah? apa masih tetep bobo pas jam sekolah? hihihi.
Aina has got introduction to dancing for some time, and she likes it, maybe she’ll enjoy her ballet class…
hopefully, she is.
wow, persistent and passionate lil lady :) go aina.. smoga jadi ballerina handal nanti ya :) difoto itu tampak dia sgt hepi dan enjoy the class yaa :)
haha, kalo harapan gue sih, semoga dia masih mau ballet taun depan (udah bayar soalnya, hihihi)… biasanya kan attention spannya pada pendek2 :P
awww.. so cute!! naia juga udah nanya2 terus nih. dan dia di rumah sekarang tiap hari twirl, dance, hopped. ngikutin video performancenya kemaren, dan yang diikutin gerakan2 anak2 K2 gitu. guenya aja yang belom sempet nganterin dia liat ballet academy nya. dan gue sebenernya kuatir she’s too young sih, apalagi rasa malunya masih kronis.
btw, aina looks like the youngest in the class yah thal? yang lain kayaknya udah pada gede2 semua..
tunggu ampe umur 3 aja shin. kemaren pas gue nyari2 kelas ballet gitu, sebagian besar cuma nerima diatas 3 tahun. malah ada yang cuma 4 tahun keatas.
lagian kelas 3-4 tahun ini namanya baby ballet, yang pretty much sama gerakannya ama performancenya naia waktu itu… hihihi. ntar kalo udah 5+ tahun, baru diajarin ballet beneran (posisi2nya etc). yang ini sih lbh kayak cuma main2 aja.
aina ga yang paling muda lho! ada yang lebih kecil juga dari dia… trus ada 1 anak cowok, anak dari yang punyanya. nah dia umurnya 1 bulan lebih muda dari aina :)
I had my 1st ballet lesson when I was 5… sayang cuma les setaun… kalo liat photonya… ya ampun… pake baju balet dgn perut buncit… Kalo Aina kayaknya bakal keliatan slim… :)))
Nanti aku pulang mau denger Aina cerita kelas ballet ah… :)
slim, tapi tetep buncit juga kok, hihihi. ntar kalo udah sempet editing, gue upload videonya… lucu ya anak2 kecil berusaha balet :P
wooowww…aina ballerina, lucu banget sih….
rhyming kan? :D
