Back to Ballet

We have finally found a ballet studio here in Pyeongtaek, so Grace has decided to give up swimming (at least for the time being), and go back to her first love, ballet.  She is one of two blondes in the class and I am only assuming that the other one speaks English as she is fluent in Hongul.

Monday is "stretching" day.  All the girls sit with their back to the wall and the teacher and another student gently push their legs open until it is a bit uncomfortable.

The teacher and the girls took really good care of her and made sure she knew where she was supposed to be and what she needed to be doing.  I'm also very proud of her for going outside of her comfort zone to do what she loves to do - I don't know many kids who would willingly go to a class that is taught all in Hongul (with very little, and very limited English).  I pray that she keeps it up and even learns a little of the language along the way.  She really seemed to enjoy the class, and even though you could see that she was a feeling a bit shy, I caught her with a great big smile on her face several times.
