I blogged about Jo1's
Ballet pre-examination week last year, and this year's falls on 18 Oct. This year more mommies turned up with their camera, so lots of flashes when they started to dance. Her partner for this year is Aerin. Only two of them and the examiner will be in the studio during exam, teachers not allowed.
