Tap-Jazz-Ballet x 2

Mac and Ivy wrapped up their 5th and 3rd years of dance, respectively, with their recital at the very end of May. They were in the same class this past year so that made my life much easier! The girls' dance class was a combination tap-jazz-ballet class and then they both took an extra class of hip hop. While Ivy just absolutely loved it, Maclyn tolerated it. She decided about mid way through that she was going to make this her last year of dance. I can't say my heart was broken - she just wasn't in it. But I am proud of her for finishing the year up without a fuss.
