The Greatest Circus

She did it!

After a year of driving back and forth to the dance studio for classes, picture day, and the rehearsals it was time for her show.  These kids worked so hard all year and put on a fantastic performance called "The Greatest Circus."

This was my girl's fourth year of dancing and she wants to keep going.  I'm so proud of her.  She does so well with keeping up with the dancers that are a bit older and taller than her.  I was able to snap some pictures during dress rehearsal since we aren't really supposed to be taking them during the actual show.

The first night of rehearsal was for the first act, which was all ballet.  The second day was the second act, which was everything else.  This year, aside from ballet, she performed in Praise 1 and Tap.

I enjoy watching these shows so much.  I'm thrilled that my daughter loves to dance and wants to keep going.  This is something I gave up as a child and later regretted it.  I'm sure if she ever tells me she wants to stop I'll be crushed but it's whatever she wants.  So far she's eager to keep going until graduation.  She's so good and I know she'll get better.  Dance isn't easy and this year she learned about quick costume changes. 

We watched along with my parents and her second grade teacher and husband.  We are so thankful for everyone who can be a part of our childrens' lives. 

And now that we are done with baseball and dance we can rest just a little bit.
