A Sweet Little Ballerina

Well I have been trying to take some pictures of "little miss" for about the last month but with the holidays and all I just kept pushing it aside. So today was the day! The sun was shining outside and lighting up our front room just enough that I still could use natural light.


Some Ballet Terms...just for fun!

Jete : A jump from one foot to the other: a 'thrown' step, of which there are many varieties. A grand jete is a big thrown step.

Plie : Bending the legs: every ballet class starts with plies in all five positions to loosen muscles and promote elasticity. Good plie gives impetus for jumps and also helps to cushion a landing.
Arabesque : Position in which the dancer stands on one leg with the other extended behind. The arms may be in various positions but are always arranged to form a harmonious line.
