Ballet Baby

Turns out ballet isn't exactly what Kathryn expected. I signed her up for a class at the YWCA, thinking it would be low-key and no pressure. It's a once-a-week half hour class that has no beginning or end. It just continues and you pay monthly. No recitals, no specific dress code. Perfect, right? Not so much.
