I signed Ana up for a “Shuffle, Point, Swing” (a combo of ballet, tap and jazz) class this summer so I knew eventually she would need a pair of tap shoes. Today while we were waiting for Sim to meet us at our favorite Thai place, we went into Dance Togs next door to pick up her shoes. Ana was very excited and as soon as we got home she ran upstairs, put on her leotard and wanted to show off for her Daddy. Having never even witnessed anyone tap dancing, we had no idea what Ana would do. So obviously we were a little surprised when she whipped out a little routine like she’d been doing it for ages. (Had I known she would be so good, I might have used a camera with a little better quality than my iPhone, but whatcha gonna do?) See for yourself:

(Oh and incidentally when I was in Dance Togs, the lady that helped me mentioned that they offer a 10% off discount to people taking classes through Tualatin Hills Parks & Rec because they refer so many customers their way. So make sure you mention THRP it if you happen to shop there! The lady was incredibly helpful and encouraging, which made the experience very memorable for Ana. Bonus points in my book.)
