This year each and every Monday… and each and every Thursday I took these girls to dance. Here's the outcome of all those hours.

#3 in the opening act.

#3.5 in the dressing room

This was #3's 10th year dancing, and #3.5's first year.  #3.5 wasn't sure if she was going to like dance, but I'm pretty sure after the first week she loved it!  This year the girls helped out back stage at the gymnastics and mini recital, they also helped with set up.  I think they had as much fun doing that as they did dancing!

#3 and #3.5 had their dance recital Saturday night.  Here are some pictures from it…

This was part of a tap dance they did with dancers of all ages and experience levels.

Tonight was parents night at dance… Here's a couple of photos

#3 (in the black shorts)  This is her tap class.

That's 3.5 in her tap class

Here she is again.. You notice she only has one shoe on.  She twisted her ankle last weekend… and her tap shoe won't fit with her brace.

#3 in pointe class

It's been a very frustrating year for dance.  #3 LOVES to dance, and normally she is in 4-6 different dances, but this year the studio that "bought out" the studio, that "bought out" the studio she had danced at her entire life.. could not seem to get their act together. I could write so many things about how horrible this year was.. but that would take away from how beautiful #3 looked.  If one of your children want to dance, check out the studio.  If the owners worry more about their policies than the students.. take them somewhere else.  If the owner talks negative about a parent in front of the students.. take them somewhere else.  We will be going somewhere else next year for sure.
