Daughter dear had dancing practice today and I was allowed to watch as it was an on stage rehearsal for a concert (we are normally not permitted to watch), so I sketched a bit :)They "folk dance", which in Latvia is almost like how ballet is in some other countries. Most kids here grow up doing some form of folk dance. The shoes, when they were when in costume, remind me of cross between Indian moccasin and ballet shoes, and they wear thick wool socks with symbols. At Gabs age group 5-7 there are about equal number of boys and girls.

Hello Jehanne,
I'm Katerina from Greece.
You've done wonderful sketches!! Your daughter must be very happy with the dancing lessons!!!
I do like the explanations you shared with us about the folc dances, i'm always interesting of learning about different cultures.
Your sketches are wonderful, they show the movement of the tiny dancers so well. It is also fun to learn about life in other countries. Very interesting, here there are always way more girls in dance class than boys, it is kind of sad.
They are great - you captured the movement and fun of the lessons perfectly.
Love the movement in your sketches! You sure captured the fun the kids are having! Great job!
Sweet little sketches!
Dance is so free at that age - it is almost a shame to push them into structure at that age - but then when you see what they can do by 10 it is not so much a shame :-) Love the feeling and movement you portray here!
these are lovely...you captured a little snippet of life very well...
These are so adorable. I love the back of the little girl holding the hands of other girls.
They are just so sweet.
Your sketches are wonderful. I have spent lots of time over the years sketching my children at swim lessons, baseball practice and dancing. Your sketches look so alive and have wonderful movement :)
Great sketches, so sweet and wonderful subjects (I always use my kids as models).
These are just so adorable! I love anything dancing and these capture these little sweeties so well!
Great work.

Wonderful sketch, you really captured the dance. Makes me feel like I am there.
