We've entered the recital season. You know, that time of year where you get the kids all dressed in full costume and makeup the day BEFORE the recital so they can practice the dance twice. You then get to wait around for a couple of hours so the OTHER child can practice her dance two times. You go home and the NEXT day you go through the same routine with the costume and make-up but this time you get to sit for an hour and watch many small children dance. The best part is when YOUR child is on stage and your heart just bursts because you know they are the cutest and the best dancer of the evening!
This year our dance company will hold 5 shows; 2 little kid shows and 3 for the older kids. Sarah, because she is a member of the company gets to dance in ALL five!!! I love the older kids shows. That's when you see some really great dancing!
Analiese, of course, had a fantastic time being on stage. She was animated and knew the dance inside and out! The women sitting in front of me commented about the "little chinese girl" and how much fun she seemed to be having! I so wanted to say, "That's MY daughter" but didn't want to get caught eavesdropping!
Sarah has grown tremendously as a performer and Analiese just loves to perform. How wonderful that both girls have found a place in the arts!
