Olivia's fun in dance and gymnastics in the spring time

Olivia continued her dance and gymnastics classes at Westside Dance and Gymnastics.  She goes to Tap, Jazz, and Tumble class every Thursday at 9:30 in the morning.  She has made friends with the other kids in her class and seems to be really enjoying it.  She really likes her teacher, (teacher Jessica) and her dance recital music (Awe Coconuts! from Jake and the Neverland Pirates) and her dance routine.  She genuinely seems excited to go to class each day.  It also doesn't help that she loves her recital costume.  I got some cute pictures of Olivia and her class in their recital costumes just prior to get their pictures taken.  She did really well this year as it was her first year of dance and was invited to the more accelerated dance class next year.  We are going to try it this summer and see how she likes it.

Olivia also continued her gymnastics class with teacher Stephanie on Sundays.  We missed a lot of Sunday classes unfortunately due to Mother's day weekend and then the school was closed for Easter and the Sunday after Easter for a meet.  We were going to skip gymnastics this summer but Olivia wants to keep it up so she can perfect her cartwheel.  Speaking of cartwheels, Olivia can do them now perfectly and even some handstand/hand springs and round offs!  She has really taken off with the gymnastics and seems to love it.
