After a nice three day weekend, it was time to get back to DANCING! Amanda left this morning to attend a Pilates class, followed by ballet technique, pointe, a variation class, and rep. Melissa Bowman taught both the ballet technique and pointe classes. Amanda really liked her and said she was one of her favorite teachers here!

During the rep class, they worked on practicing their piece--Swanhilda's Friends which they will be performing during the final performance.

So, a lot of the pictures (except the first one of Amanda on her way to class) were taken previously as yesterday was a quiet day. We stayed at home for dinner and had a relaxing evening. It was nice to take it easy and enjoy each others' company.
