Thanks for posting your experience PipersMom! I am really looking forward to it. I just hope my DD has the same success with the program that yours did. I will post back about it in August.
About the balance and coordination - my DD has good balance and terrible coordination. She does really well on a horse but can't use a scooter to save her life. She swims like a fish under water but years of swimming lessons haven't helped her above water. At first she took great to ice skating but soon lost the ability - was never able to rollerblade. Like Irena's son she seems to lose a skill if she doesn't keep using it. She is a natural dancer but has real difficulty remembering choreography - no where close to the ability level you would expect after 6 years of dance lessons.
As DH said this morning she's an enigma. I'm just so happy there are other parents here who can relate!
