Ballet - its a whole new world and vocabulary

chassé shah-say' To glide; a smooth gliding movement that can be either front, side, or back.




Avery learned to chasse last night at ballet.  Freddie took Luke to basketball and so they didn't go to this week's class.  When we got home, Avery was showing the boys what she had learned in class.  She performed a 4 year old version of chasse from side to side in the living room (not that I know the difference, I had to google it).  Luke said, "it looks like plain 'ol defense to me."  There you have it.  Who knew ballet and basketball were so close to the same thing :)
