Dance Recital

Amelia had fun performing in her first dance recital Saturday evening. She did an amazing job. Judging by the reaction of the audience when her class came on stage, I'm pretty sure it was just about the cutest thing they had seen in their entire lives. We were really proud of her for having no fear and doing so well. We all enjoyed a post-dance recital trip to Dairy Queen for ice cream.

Practicing the "end of the show" bow (and leaving a trail of pink feathers everywhere):




And a really poor quality video I took during the rehearsal. Amelia is second from the left.

She had been telling me that she didn't want to take dance again next year and I was kind of happy about that. (I don't think she liked going to class after a long day of school.) But after the recital she said she wanted to do it again. I guess we'll see what happens in the Fall...
