Last night (before my yoga class) I saw a children's ballet class and they were sooo cute in their little blue leotards! There were six and seven year olds who had been taking ballet for 3 years. How cool is that? THEARC offers a wonderful series of dance classes for children AND adults. If you haven't visited THEARC in Congress Heights please come out - it's a beautiful space!
