I must say that this year was a challenging one as far as getting the girl to class. She hates tights (and most socks) and didn't like the way her shoes fit. I even gave in and bought her brand new tap shoes a month ago and she still told me her shoes were too tight and we had tears on the last day of class. Basically she has a problem with anything tight around her feet. Last year her teacher let her get away with not wearing tights but this year we switched over to a real studio so I told her we had to follow the attire rules. There were tears most weeks and several times I even considered pulling her because it was supposed to be fun and shouldn't be so hard but I'm glad she stuck with it. And guess what, when I asked her what her favorite dance was she said TAP! I laughed out loud. This girl is going to do me in. Next year we signed up for jazz and tights are not a requirement, whew.
Her dress rehearsal was Friday night minus the "dress." Olay!
These little collars were so cute in the tap number! They took them off for ballet and put on their tutus and wings.
Madison and Charlotte have been dancing together for the last couple years. They both came over together from the rec center where Emma takes now with Ms. Michelle.
Madison and Audrey are friends from pre-school and it just so happened their classes overlapped a bit on the same day. They never got to see each other but I enjoyed hanging out with her mama!
The best shots I could get from the crowd. With no flash they have to be perfectly still to get a clear picture and at a dance recital that's hard to do!
After a great show this hungry girl chose Rosa's (shocker) for her recital lunch.
Fabulous job my little beauty queen!
