Alyssa had her ballet recital tonight. This photograph was taken last night at her dress rehearsal. Tonight she looked even prettier. She was so excited about tonight, she was almost jumping out of her skin. She did a beautiful job. I was a very proud mommy.During part of the dance she and another little girl hold up their arms while the other little girls go underneath them. Last night at dress rehearsal this other little girl on Alyssa's other side kept lifting up her arm and confusing the girls who were supposed to go underneath. Alyssa and I talked about this, because she was a little mad. So I told her that if Abby tries to lift up her arm, she should just not lift it. During the dance Abby tried to lift her arm and I watched her shake her head no at Abby and forcibly keep her arm down.
After the dance was over she bowed and had the biggest smile on her face. She was s
o proud of herself and seemed to enjoy the experience so much. The teachers kept all the little girls in the back until the very end when all of the top class performed. Then they brought them out to watch. They had saved the front two rows for them. We were in the third row right behind her. Her teachers were the last to dance. She watched so quietly and clapped and clapped when they finished. It was cute.After the recital was over, she recieved flowers from us, Grandma and Aunt Christy, and Elly Werner her primary teacher. She was thrilled. I took a few pictures of her. Tomorrow I will post more pictures.
Aunt Christy and I were so happy to be at the recital. It was a special night. Elly and I watched Alyssa's face as the teachers danced; she was spell-bound, never taking her eyes of the dancers; then would clap wildly and smile her wonderful smile. That was worth the price of admission! Gma
ReplyDeleteI love that pose! That pointed toe, perfect hands - so cute! Give her a big hug & kiss from Aunty Em.
ReplyDeleteWe wish we could have been there again this year, but alas, we could not. She is so cute in her tutu.
ReplyDeleteJen, your kids are adorable!! Does your little girl take from Miss Patricia's ballet studio? For some reason I can't even remember what it is called, but Lyndsay did ballet there and it was awesome! WE never did like the place here as much as there!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is Miss Patricia's Dance studio. It is really wonderful there. She took the Creative Movement class first. She has been in the Pre-Ballet class now for a year. I hope she stays in it for a little while longer
