Beautiful Ballerina

One of my favorite things about dance is getting to go to the dance recital. It's so exciting to watch Paige perform on stage. My dad and Connie came for a short visit so they could watch her perform. We arrived early so we could get front row seats to watch our favorite little dancer perform.

Paige had two performances, the first was a ballet routine to 'Do Re Mi' from 'The Sound of Music' and her other was a jazz routine to the chipmunk version of 'I Got a Feeling'. She did such a great job and you could tell she really enjoyed dancing on stage. I of course couldn't get enough pictures of my beautiful ballerina.

The best part now is that Paige can wear her costumes as 'dress-ups' and she wears her ballet costume just about everyday while playing around the house....actually she is wearing it now.

Gimme Gimme...a Beautiful Dancer Paige

I look forward to Paige's dance recital all year and last Saturday, June 6th it was time for Paige to show us all of those dance techniques she learned this past year at Sheena's Dance Academy in Frisco. She was performing a tap routine to the song "Gimme Gimme" wearing a very sparkly red dance costume. I couldn't take enough pictures of my beautiful dancer. I was overwhelmed with how proud I felt as a mother to watch her perform.

Since the performance she has worn her costume around the house everyday, she loves to dress-up and of course you can't beat the mega sparkle factor of this costume. This past year her dance class was a combo tap and ballet class but next year it will be just ballet. I wasn't sure how long Paige would want to be a dancer but while watching the other performances she told me she wanted to dance until she was a big girl and of course we will support her every step along the way.
