Christmas Ballet Recital

Shayna's Ballet class had their Christmas Performance today. Its not a huge production, its meant to get them ready for their big recital in May so there are not any costumes they just show family members what they have been learning in class. The following pictures are floor and barre work to get them warmed up before the big dance.




As you can see, Shayna loves the camera!

Here they are lined up for the dance, Shayna is the leader and she is so proud of herself.



The above pictures are Shay doing her dance. They are Reindeer. It looks like Shay is the only one off but really she is the only one on. She knows the dance so well and listens to her teacher. After the recital Shayna's teacher came up to me and told me how good Shay is doing in class. She said she listens well and her body moves the way it is supposed to. She's going to be a natural....I'm so proud.

We stayed for a little bit to watch a girl do a solo. Shayna looked up at me and said "see why I love it so much, some day that will be me". I hope so! After her performance it was time to leave and Shay threw the biggest tantrum. She did not want to leave. She wanted to keep dancing on the stage. She kept saying "I'm not ready to be done, I love to dance on stage"
