Our Tiny Dancer

Our past weekend was filled with dancing fun!  On Friday night, Audrey had her rehearsal, and luckily, rehearsal priority went in order of age.  After hearing some horror stories of how long rehearsal can take, she and I were pretty pleased with the night.  Audrey danced all three of her dances, and then we were out in ninety minutes!   Whoo hoo!   I was immediately impressed with Audrey's confidence at rehearsal, as she showed no nerves about being on stage.

Saturday, then, was the actual recital.  Once again, Audrey showed pretty great poise and confidence for it being her first recital.  After getting slightly  nervous about being left in a classroom to wait without me, she had a lot of fun being up on stage and performing her dances.  It's also funny to listen to her thoughts and perspective about things, as she can be so serious about what she notices and questions.

Right now, I think she will be interested in dancing again in the fall.  No matter what becomes of her dancing career, this has been a great experience for her to build a little confidence and take steps in being independent.  Yeah, Aud!  Thanks to all who came to cheer our tiny dancer on!

This is Audrey and her friend Lilly from preschool.  They were in different preschool dance classes, but luckily, they performed at the same recital time.  

Audrey is on the far right.

P.S.  Another fun memory of the night was watching Miss Kate dance from the bleachers.  That girl has got some good moves! :)
