Hey everyone, it's Chelsea. Welcome back to Storytime. This week we'll be reading Twinkle

Toes by Angela Ottomey. Children's hyphen stories dot-n-a. Annabelle loves dancing and ballet

is her favorite art of dance. Her dream is to be a ballerina wearing the white beautiful

tutu and the ballet shoes. Her favorite move is the arrowbask. Which is on one leg with

the other leg raised behind the body and extended as a straight line. Her second favorite

move is a pirouette. Which is a complete turn of the body on one foot point or demi point.

She loves to spin. She sees herself performing for royalty or precedence. She thinks, oh,

what fun this will be as she twirls in her room jumping and falling. She doesn't care

because she is a ballerina. Her mother signed her up for ballet classes. She is so excited

that she can't wait to go. Today is her first ballet class. Yippie, she yells as she

twirls around the living room waiting for her mom to find her keys. Annabelle, let's

go! Her mom said, okay ma. Hurry or I'm going to be late. No, you're not. Oh, wait.

And did you get your shoes? Mom, I'm layering them. Oh, my, that's right. They both laughed.

Annabelle made it to the dance studio and saw all the other little girls in their tutu's

twirling around. She couldn't wait to do her two favorite dance moves. Her teacher

is Miss Lilly, who is jumping and spinning around. Wow, Annabelle said, okay girls, let's

start class, said Miss Lilly. All the girls had their turn twirling and dancing. Now it

was Annabelle's turn. She was so excited. Okay Annabelle, it's your turn. Let's see what

you can show us, Miss Lilly said. Okay, Miss Lilly, I have been practicing before my mom

even signed me up. I just love ballet. Annabelle was in the middle of the room and performed

her moves. She felt once but that didn't stop her. She was determined to show Miss Lilly

she could be a ballerina. Thank you Annabelle. I see that you have been practicing. Yes, Miss
