Dance Recital

My dd performed in her dance recital this past weekend. Her class this year was a combination of tap and pre-ballet. In the recital, her class performed two separate dances, one for tap and one for ballet. Little Red Riding Hood (5) did a pretty good job of remembering the steps and keeping a smile on her face. Last year it was hard to get her on stage, but this year she just pranced right out! She is really enjoying dance and can't wait to start her third year in the fall.  

The first pictures are of her in her tap routine. They did an original song called "This New Man" to the tune of "This Old Man He Played 10". Here she is in her tap dance outfit.


She much preferred her ballet costume because it looked like a fairy tale costume. She did not have the routine down as well in ballet but hit the different positions pretty well.





She is the one on the right who kept looking off stage at her teacher to see what to do next. This has been such a good experience for her. She really likes the teachers at our dance studio, and I like how they are so careful about keeping the kids modest. They are reminded weekly that they are dancing to glorify God, not to show off in any way. 

Now that the dance recital is over, we can begin summer break in earnest!  Yeah!!

Blessings, Dawn
