ballerina try it requirements

In an effort to really make this blog more helpful to other leaders here are the requirements for the ballerina try it.

Brownie Ballerina Try-It
Girls must complete four of the six requirements to earn this try-it.
1. Take a beginning ballet class – learn how to warm up your muscles and do some simple movements.
2. Find out about dancewear – tights, leotards, character skirts, legwarmers, etc. What is the difference between soft-shoes and pointe shoes and why do dancers need each kind?
3. Learn the five placement positions for your feet in ballet.
4. Learn how dancers come to "attention" (bras bas), and how to hold your hands gracefully when doing ballet.
5. Many ballet terms are French. Learn what to do when someone asks you to plié, relevé, tendu, and cambér.
6. Talk with someone who has taken ballet for a while. What does she enjoy about it? Have her demonstrate some things she has learned. Maybe she can help you earn this try-it.

then to order it call Girl Scouts of Middle Tennesse at (615) 460-0222

I honestly just asked the kids dance teacher if she would do it or if she had an older student/friend who wouldn't mind. She said yes and while she's not requiring a payment I will be paying her because she's taking off work early to come and do this.
