Yeah, I just quoted Salt-n-Pepa. You are welcome! We are deep in the Christmas dancing season, so I thought I'd take a minute to share what we have going on in our crazy lives. And there are pics! Lucky duckies...
There is a board that gets displayed at every performance that has pics of all the company members. These are my 3 and their headshots. Nice looking bunch of yahoos.
There is always a barre exercise to warm up. Considering it was coooollllddd, it was much appreciated!
This is the group rehearsing for the Christmas tree lighting. They were so good!
The baby on dress rehearsal day with her "March" buddies. This year for ballet, Miss S has put together the Russian, Chinese, Spanish, March and Marzipan from
The Nutcracker. I think my favorite is the Russian and the Marzipan and the March. Hmmmm, I wonder why...
This is what happens on dress rehearsal day. Everybody crowding the mirror trying to see themselves in their costumes. There were lots of new costumes this year and so much ooooing and aahing.
The boy with one of his Russian partners. His other partner was out of town. They did a such a great job!
How can you not love that face? I just adore her. And her big sister. And her brother.
The boy starts his dance with a toe touch, straddle jump, or whatever crazy French term you want to use for this. I cannot even imagine getting myself off the ground, much less having to do multiples of these.
Look at my babies!!! These are The Nutcracker costumes for the first set of numbers. The big girl doesn't want to give hers back. I can't blame her.
Checking out the tree before the tree lighting. People have asked me why we do what we do. Despite the fact that my kids love to dance, the smiles should be all the answer you need.
Sometimes, when you get on stage and the nerves start to get to you, a hug is always nice. The baby's friend A was having a moment. Thank God for friends!!
Checking out the stage. It's hard to do when the stage is full, but I still love this pic.
We have known this sweet girl for what seems like forever! She graduated a couple of years ago, but still comes home from college to see some of the performances. She is an amazing person and dancer and we love, love, love her!
This is the big girl with her friend, B and the boy with his friend, J. They were warming up before the show before they were so rudely interrupted for picture time.
And this is the group on stage. It makes for quite a pic, don't you think?
All of the dancers have put so much hard work and time and effort into these performances. We have 3 left. If you want to check out some quality entertainment and a amazing dancers, message me for dates and times. And even better, all of the shows are free. How can you beat that?
Have a great day.
