Well we had our 7th dance recital as Academy of Dance. It was a bit stressful, but extremely rewarding all at the same time. This year they double booked us with the high school so we ended up having to move our rehearsal to the Jr. High and had our recital at Herriman High School again. It worked out, but I will say I don't ever want to have them at 2 different places again (ha ha ha...I lost way too much sleep over all of that:))
Anyways as always my girls did AMAZING, it was so much fun seeing them all up on that stage. I am always amazed how much they have progressed over the past couple of years. I can't even begin to say how lucky I feel to be able to do what I do. Dance is such an amazing part of my life and I feel so lucky to be able to share it with such incredible little girls! I am also so lucky to have such great teachers teaching at the studio this year...they are all so dedicated and LOVE dance just as much as I do:) Anyways here are some pics from last night!
P.S. My dad took pictures and I had him video Lydia's class because our card on our video camera was full so I don't have any pictures of Lydia's class...but they were stinking CUTE!!! I am sure I can track some down so I will try to add them in later!
Lydia waiting to go to her recital...she was being a stinker and I didn't get any great pics of her before
I love their little flapper costumes!~
2-3 yr old Big Girls Don't Cry...they were darling! I am always amazed with how well little 2 and 3 yr olds do on the stage.
5-8 yr olds When will my life begin, our darling Rapunzel dancers...they were absolutely FABULOUS!!!
Marie Choreographed this one and it was so well done!
3-4 yr olds..."Little Itty Bitty" they were so cute...each one had a huge smile on their face the whole time. This was another one of Marie's and it was so stinking cute!
Academy E (4-7 yr olds) "Party Rock Anthem" Let's just say this was one of my favorites...they got so into it and with the song it was so CUTE!!!
Academy C (7-8 yr olds) "Pump It" Keri choreographed this one and it was so cute...the girls have improved in their hip hop a ton this year!
Academy D (5-6 yr olds) "Can't Buy Me Love" They were so stinking good, most of these girls have taken from me for a few years and it showed, they were seriously so good!
Academy A "Imma Shine" Keri Choreographed this amazing hip hop for the oldest girls, she did a fabulous job and the girls honestly looked AMAZING they had worked hard and it showed!
Academy E (4-7 yr olds) "I can't get no Satisfaction" These girls danced their little hearts out, they are such a fun group and it showed in their dancing!
Academy B (9-10 yr olds) "Beggin" Keri choreographed this hip hop as well, it was so good and so fun to watch, the girls did amazing!
Academy A "Sky Scraper" Nichol choreographed this AMAZING lyrical...I was in tears by the end. The girls have grown so much over the past few months and it is hard not to get emotional about them. I love these girls, they are the BEST!!!
Loved this shot!
Acadmey D (5-6 yr olds) "That's what little girls are for" Oh my goodness I can not tell you how much I loved this dance and these dancers. It was a hard routine and they knew it so well and danced their hearts out. I am so proud of what a good job they did!
Academy C (7-8 yr olds) "Jump Jive n' Wail" this was one of my favorites by far, the girls were so into it and they had so much fun. It is so fun when they get a little older and really start to get it...they were AWESOME!!!
Academy B (9-10 yr olds) "Magic" Oh my goodness these girls are seriously so AMAZING...they have improved so much and the difficulty of this dance was insane. They worked so hard and they looked so stinking cute up on stage. Love it when they get to show off how hard they have worked!
Academy A "Good Luck" What else can I say other then AMAZING...these girls looked so good and are such great examples of what a lot of hard work and dedication will get you. I loved watching them up on stage and seeing how much they have grown over the past few months. I seriously can't say enough nice things about these girls...so fun to watch!
FINALE'
Part of Academy A...I LOVED their costumes, so cute!
My teachers, Keri, Marie, Nicole and my Best Friend Meg to ran the show back stage...they are all so amazing and I am lucky to have them as teachers and friends!
I am so lucky to do what I love...don't know what I would do without this in my life!
