She's a Natural


Just putting in a plug for the awesomeness that is the African dance class that Noemi started taking last month through Imani Dance Company at Mulberry Art Studio here in Lancaster, PA. Monday evening is officially now her favorite time of the week. The class is actually geared toward school-age children, but the instructor's daughter is Noemi's age and invited us along for the exposure. Noemi lights up as she and the other mini dancers run around the periphery, imitating the older girls getting their groove on to the live drummers. Noemi brings along her drum from Ethiopia to get in on the action and wears her lapa (african wrap skirt) each week. Seriously. This gig is a ton-o- fun.
