First Dance Recital

Last night the girls had their first dance recital! They have been practicing for months and it was so cute to watch them onstage. Katelyn is in a tumbling class, and for their performance they did some tumbling then a really cute hip hop routine. Taylor dressed up as Ariel and did a little princess dance. It was adorable to watch those 3 year olds and to see how they reacted to being on stage. Taylor of course loved the spotlight, but had no desire to do the routine she learned. She started out dancing with the group, then just started doing her own little dance and twirling around on stage. Then she kept waving to the crowd and yelling, "Mom! Where are you!" The auditorium was huge and packed with people!

Katelyn shocked me the most. She kept telling me the week prior that she was not going to get up on the stage and that she did not want people watching her. She was the first performance, and she marched out there and did the routine perfectly without flinching! She even helped the boy next to her remember his moves. Afterwards she had an ear to ear smile and said, "Mom! That was my first time on stage and I loved it!!" I was so excited for her and to see her overcome a fear.

It was a great night and I am one proud mama!
