Princess L - God's Praising Princess

This past year, Princess L has been attending a princess ballet class.  Her wonderful teacher, Miss Karen Wilde-Berry (isn't that a great name?), has taken her love of ballet and her love  for the LORD and designed her classes around the idea that we are Children of the King of Kings.  Her classes are all about praising King Jesus with dancing, songs, poems, and laughter.  Princess L has gone through all five of the princess levels.  At the end of each level, the girls receive a piece of princess costume.  Last Tuesday was the final recital of the year, and the girls earned their princess gown.  Here's the story in pictures . . .

Here is Princess L waiting to begin.

Waiting to Begin


After a short processional and quick dance, the girls were presented with their princess gowns.

Getting the gown


I love how Princess L couldn't stop looking at her gown.  She said it made her feel like a princess.

All decked out


All lined up for the second processional.

The princesses curtsey.  You'll notice the blue dresses.  The older class received the blue gowns.

Bowing down to King Jesus.

Another aspect that Miss Karen works in is public speaking.  For the younger girls class, she always asks them a question and they are to answer in a complete sentence for the whole crowd to hear.

The interview


Here's the beginning of a demi-plie.

Princess L looks SO very beautiful in her new gown! What a beautiful ballerina she is. And now her friends are even more excited to go through the last 2 levels & get their princess gowns! :)

This program sounds absolutely divine! Our grandchildren all are in dance and we CRINGE at the songs their body is instructed to move to...in front of hundreds of parents! OH for a Godly presentation to move their lovely bodies for the LORD in a pleasing way and with a mindset of being God's Princess! I would love to know EVERYTHING about this program!
