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.

Once T starts walking, will you take us as your guests one Monday evening??? Sounds incredible. There are some classes like that in Philly, but for much older kids. If you concede, I promise not to dance...or sing.

It feels so good when we can give our kids something that's real and meaningful and non-plastic, huh? Something that takes skill and time to master but is recognizable from the get-go as quality. Heck yeah, miss Julie. Way to make this happen and have her so ready to go, traditional wrap skirt and hair puffs and all.
