First Day of Dance

The girls were so excited to start another year of dance! This is Chloe’s first year going, she’s been wanting to go for a while now.  Chloe’s class is Kinder Moves 1 and she gets to do tap and ballet. Callie’s is Kinder Moves 2 and she does tap, ballet and tumble!

Dance Recital

The ending of the school year also means the ending of dance.  Callie thoroughly enjoyed dance this year and had gotten even excited about dancing on the big stage!  Well when it came actually getting ready for rehearsal and recital, that was a different story.  Like I said here, she’s having some issues when it comes to certain outfits, and this one was a doozie.  Needless to say, once I got her dropped off, she did great and you could see this HUGE smile on her face while she was on stage.   I was able to get a video of their rehearsal, and I’ve tried uploading it but it’s not working, hopefully I can figure that out cause its SO cute

The next night we got back to the Koger Center, in only our tights and t-shirt because we refused to get dressed, for the actual recital.  There was a moment when I thought her dancing on stage wasn’t going to happen.  G-Kat, Big V, Nana, Uncle Alex, Chloe, Vaughn and I waited to see what would happen.

And sure enough, she did it! She was great and it was just precious!  I went and got her from the ‘holding area’ and she was just so excited about doing her dance on the stagee.

Lots of hugs were given out

We posed with our ‘bestest friend’ Reese

and ran around with some other ballerinas!

We took a quick family picture and then headed out to dinner with the family to celebrate!

To be honest I was glad that it was over, those two days wore me out with the drama.  I did enjoy seeing her so happy after it though.  Also, it took me back a second to think that next year there is the possibility of BOTH girls dancing in recital- CRAZY. 

Ballet!

Callie is so excited that ballet has started!  She really missed it over the summer and couldn’t wait for it to start back up again.

 

She’s in a much bigger class this year and I think that threw her off a bit in the start.  It takes her a moment to warm up to new situations, especially with lots of people, but I know she’ll be fine by a couple of classes.

It also helps to have a familiar face leading our class, Mrs. Amy!  After the first class Mac stated that Mrs. Amy was a good and fun teacher. :)

Also, while I was waiting on her class to get out I looked at the recital picture board, and guess who made it on there?!  Um, so, stinking, cute.

Callie asks me every other day if she goes to dance class that day, so I’m thinking she likes it, and I think it’ll stay that way too- yay!
