Vintage photo was found in Logan, Ohio at a antique shop. I go there often in search of vintage recipes, photos or other cooking collectibles. I remember my mom taking me to dance classes.  I had so much talent, I think I lasted two weeks.  Ballet was not for me!  Then again, neither was tap, nor any other form of dance.  I have no moves whatsoever!  lol
