... 2 or 3! You haven't seen cute until you've seen our Tuesday afternoon Explorer's Club tots don tutus and pirouette into the bright and spacious studio of Brooklyn Ballet. Last Tuesday's class, which began with each child being gifted a container of bubbles, reviewed the basic dance positions and taught the little ones to arabesque in a way that would put Martha Graham to shame! The tiny tots skipped, twirled and leaped their way through the dance moves as they pretended to pop bubbles in the air, grow bubbles bigger with their arms and gallop like a Pegasus. Little Reza, who is such an involved participant in Explorer's Club that no one would recognize him as the baby who cried his way through his first month with the crew, gets a little shaky when confronted with the noise of the trains running underneath the studio. While he did twinkle his little toes to the music here and there, he spent the majority of class listening to the engines running underneath him and keeping an eye on the action from the sidelines, leaving little Lev to be the lone danseur for the bulk of the session. Judging by the tutu around his waist and the smile on his cute little face, Lev didn't seem to mind one bit!
It's never a surprise for Brooklyn kids to be natural performers, and considering how many of our Explorers' parents are artists themselves, it's no wonder these little babies are especially talented! Looking for your culture fix this weekend? Keep it in the NY City Explorers family and show your support for Lili's and Simone's dad, Alexander Gorlizki, as he celebrates the opening of his new show, "The First Time I Heard You Blink" at the Greenberg Van Doren Gallery.
