First Dance Recital

Kate and Ellie started dance together. Their first dance recital was in May at the Hopkins Community Center. 

She was so excited to get ready for her big day. Little did she know what it meant to get on stage and dance in front of an entire audience! 

All the kids walked out on stage except for Kate. Then, there was crying, and we knew it wasn't going to happen. But wait, out walked the owner of the studio with Kate in tow. She was amazing in calming Kate down in front of the whole audience and turned it into the Kate show for about three minutes. Wish I would have got that part on video! Without this woman, Kate would not have continued... 

I still laugh until I cry when I watch this video! First the waving... Then, the "What's that Mommy?" when she is pointing at the curtain. Finally, she decides she might do a few moves. 

 

She warmed up for song #2

By the very end, she wanted to be on the center of the stage, literally! Look for her in the middle as she makes her way to the front and center of the stage. This was the group song where all classes come out together.
