Another Opening, Another Show

 Kyrie's dance recital was today! DanceArts puts on six identical shows in one day, each about 30 minutes long and incorporating students from all their beginner classes (the older students have their own show). Kyrie's show was in the afternoon, and there were already crowds of people leaving after the earlier show or arriving to see the next show. The little girls were absolutely adorable! The costumes were colorful and there were curls and rouge and the sweetest faces everywhere you looked. I dropped Kyrie off to wait with her class off-stage before joining the rest of the family in the theater.

 The show was "Mother Goose Party" and it started with a solo dance by one of the older students performing as Mother Goose. I was really impressed with how great the stage looked. And all the little girls (ages 2-6) did a wonderful job waiting on-stage for their turn to dance.

 Each of the dances was perfectly cute! The youngest class danced to Pat-a-Cake and the older girls danced to songs representing Row Your Boat, Little Miss Muffet and other nursery rhyme favorites. Kyrie's class performed to Itsy Bitsy Spider. You will have to take my word that Kyrie & her class (along with all the other little girls) did a great job! Truly, the show was a complete delight to watch! (I wish I could post the video on here, but it is almost 3-minutes long and I have trouble posting any video on here that is more than about 10 seconds. Check out Facebook for the video.)

 Kyrie's class was the last class to perform before the finale. We surprised her with flowers (a bouquet from Nana Billie & Papa Derrel and a bouquet from us) when she finished the show! She loved them!

I was glad that we got such a nice photo of us with our little dancer! We were really proud of all her hard work and how well she danced on stage!

I love this photo! All the preparation and practice and finally the performance and now one, tired girl! She watched her video later and looked at all her pictures. She had so much fun! She can't wait for her next recital!
