Prompt from W.B. Yeats "The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper."

Jessica did her first and only year of ballet when she was 6. Her friend Beth was a year younger but towered over her, a good head or more. The girls wore yellow-green bikini style costumes with large black spots, with black gauze tutus.

The next time I watched this age group doing ballet was when our son was about 14, doing jazz and hip-hop. But you need to sit through the whole concert, including the preschoolers. Ballerinas they are not. But they are so incredibly cute that you just need to watch and applaud.
