Alexa's Dance Recital

My Little Dancing Ballerina!

Alexa took a creative movement dance class this spring and she loved it! They worked on their dance all semester and then got to perform for us at the high school auditorium. She was so excited.
This was during the performance. Do you see how they are all looking off stage that is because the teacher was behind the curtain and they were all watching her! LOL :( Maybe the teacher should of thought about standing down in front. But it was still cute and she got her 4 mins. on stage! After watching the other dances, Alexa has decided she would like to try tap in the fall.



Way to go baby! You did great!!

My Dancing Girls

The weekend after VBS was also Savannah and Alexa's first dance recital! (See why I am having to catch up! )

Ok I have to brag. I can do that after all they are my daughters and this is my blog. They were so cute and did a great job. My pictures of them on stage do no justice! I am hoping my father-in-law's turned out better. We videotaped the whole thing and I had to keep going to the dressing room and change them. It was a great show!!!!

Way to go girls!!!!

The Girls First Mini-Recital

Ok I have to say my girls were too cute today!  They had a little practice recital at a nursing home for dance.  They have only been in dance for about 4 weeks and they did great.

Alexa is doing- I'm a little teapot, Itsy Bitsy Spider, You are My sunshine, Hokey pokey and the picture below is from If your happy and you know it.

 

Savannah's first song is Five Little Monkeys jumping on a bed.  Then they change her costume is not in yet so she wore regular dance clothes.  They are doing Dance like a Daisy and To be a Lady.  This was an optional recital and no one else from her class showed up so she got to do a solo for the last two songs and she got right up there and did them both all on her own!!!  She did awesome.

 

Okay thanks for indulging my bragging today. 

Alexa's Dance

I didn't get a chance to post pictures yet of Alexa's first dance class so here they are....  She loved it and looks forward to going each week.

 

 

Savannah's First Dance Class

 We are finally able to sign Savannah up for a dance class.  She is so excited and absolutely loved it.  She had a hard time sleeping the night before and could barely take a nap before hand.  The picture above is what she wanted to wear to class. She has lots of tutu's and skirts and dancing things.  But I got her to "tone it down" some for her first class.   She is taking a tap, jazz, ballet combo and will even get to be in a recital in May or June.  The class is every Thursday and right now next Thursday seems like an eternity away for her!   

In her tap shoes!

Carrying a bean bag between her knees across the floor.

Okay I could have taken a lot more pictures but I had to contain myself.  She was so cute and loved every minute of it.  (Alexa gets to take one next Wednesday!)
