Dance Recital 2019

My dancing queens had another great year of dance this year-- both are no strangers to the stage anymore and love the thrill of the performance. I honestly wasn't as pleased with their classes this year, as they had a new teacher who was younger and less experienced as a teacher. They still had fun and learned a few things but I don't know that they were challenged as much. The show wasn't as amazing as it has been in past years. It was still a lot of fun to watch my girls shine.

Abi's tap number was Shop Around by Smokey Robinson. Her jazz number was Can't Buy Me Love, the Beatles. Abi seemed to be a bit of a leader in her class somehow-- all the girls tended to look at her feet during the dance (when they weren't looking off side stage at their teacher). She also had a big smile on her face the whole time, like she was genuinely having fun. She really made friends with the girls in her class and they were a fun little group!

One of her closest friends, Caroline, was in her preschool class last year, and was also in gymnastics with her this year. They are so sweet!

Leah's tap number was Without Me, by Halsey-- something pretty contemporary for these older, almost middle-school age girls! The jazz number was This Thing Called Love by Queen-- really jazzy & upbeat. They had fun doing that one but this group of girls in general was quiet and reserved, all so focused on dance!

We're not sure what direction we'll go with dance next year, if we'll switch to a different studio or stay the same, or if Abigail will change to gymnastics only-- we will have to see what's in store for my dancing princesses!
