Dancing With My Dancer!

This past weekend was the dress rehearsal and performance of Audrey's spring recital for dance.  This year she was in a combined class for jazz/ballet and tap.  She loved it all year, and I was so excited to see her perform!  I also did something kind of special this year and signed us up for the "Dance With Your Dancer" number.  There ended up being 8 mother/daughter couples, and it was such a blast.  We had practices twice a month from January until now, and I always looked forward to it.  I think Audrey liked it too, and it gave us a little bit of special time together.  

The theme of this year's show was "Let's Get Wild".  Audrey was actually in quite a few of the numbers.  Our "Evolution of Dance" number was first, and it was a total blast.  Then, Audrey was in 3 songs in a row of a Lion King "Circle of Life" montage.  She was a baby lion.  Then, she did a tap number as a Zebra.  Finally, there was a grand finale to "I Like to Move It" that the kids all loved.  Isn't she just so dang cute in her costumes!?!

She is such a ham.








Yes, I know I'm not smiling in this one.  Too bad it's the only picture I have of our group.  We had so much fun!  All the animal, bird, and native costumes were super cute, but I think that giraffe in the second row was just way too adorable.  

Audrey was SOOOOO thrilled to get flowers!  





Audrey did such a great job.  She really lights up when she's on stage.  I can't wait for next year!

Here is a video of the girls practicing for the recital.  Audrey is the one in all black.  She did a lot better at the actual recital, but in this one you can see her a lot better since I was sitting right in front.  Maybe I'll get the recital video on here sometime, but this is good for now!
