Jacob's Highland Dance Debut

[@RobinaB530]

Nothing cuter than a bunch of little kids trying to dance. Jacob took it to new level--sweet.

[@shirleyrice7093]

He knew the steps, pointed his toes, was happy and a joy to watch.

[@sandyaw3057]

What a precious little boy Jacob is! He really took his dancing serious! I’d love to see him now!

[@melaniegardner8766]

Jacob is a true star with so much potential. What a lovely wee boy. Smiley and precious. You must be so proud of him! ❤

[@maximillianafrancine1451]

Beautiful. He did great. So blown away by the effort he must have put into this and the practice. Agree. He was the best.

[@mairiconnell6282]

Oh I remember mine at Balloch Highland games. I was about the same age. Jacob you will love your training. Listen and practice every day. Practice your feet and pointing from the heel, you are doing great! I didn't quite get to World Champion but I was a Scots Champion many times over. Practice class four times a week as long as you enjoy it and then competition on Saturday, once you are older. My best friend and rival was a boy Douglas Benson. He always was very had to beat! He always had a girlfriend as you will! To all parents split the Highland with Ballet lessons. Ballet gives you core strength and works on that elevation and foot and shoulder control. Vital. Have fun and make friends.

[@catherineabdullah6092]

As I grow older, fewer things make me laugh out loud. Jacob's enthusiasm and great abandon in this dance tickled me. I loved that he learned his dance so well that he was in his zone. Those right and left of him had to get out of the high-stepping dancer's way. Beautiful and very entertaining.

[@debrahouston2884]

BRAVO, Jacob!!! 👏👏👏👏👏 You were AWESOME -- right "on the mark!" So much so, your classmates were following your lead! Love, love, love these wee ones! 💞💞💞

[@aggieaguilera4real]

Jacob was an absolute cutie, and very, very good! He did his steps well and with confidence despite the fact that the little girl next to him was confused. I'm seeing this in 2019 - but Jacob did so well at age 4 - I hope he is still dancing!

[@harrietlyall1991]

Excellent! Jacob’s leaps are super extended and his little feet have already got the strength and spring required for this type of dance, where the heels mustn’t touch the ground. He seems to be listening to the music as well, as he keeps in time with the beat.
