Prima Ballerinas...A Final Bow

After 7 weeks of classes, my girls had their Princess Ballet class finale. Thankfully, at this age, there's no expensive recitals or things of that sort. It was a bunch of parents, in a hot warehouse, looking through a glass window at their little girls having some final fun for the summer. The teacher let each girl pick out their favorite dress from the 8 different gowns available. I find it hilarious that 7 of the girls picked the blue Cinderella costume. Little A, being a trendsetter, was the lone pink Cinderella gown. She's such a rebel. Here are some of my favorite pics from the day.

Big A, sitting just as perfect as can be. Awaiting her turn to shine. (She's the one in the middle)



















Big A dancing away. This pose struck me as funny. She looks like she's doing Riverdance as opposed to ballet.

















Some of the class participants. There's my little rebel. This might have been the only point at which she sat still.










Little A with the "look of the day". She wasn't particularly happy to be there. Oh well.











I love this pic of Big A flying through the air. She had her best class of the semester and it showed.











Little A spent most of the time staying away from everyone and causing mischief. She gets that from her Dad's side of the family.











Speaking of Daddy, here he is with his girls.


















After costume time is finished, they are encouraged to grab pom poms and use them as weapons litter the studio with straggling pieces shake them and have fun.








Little A doing a stretch. Or just horsing around. Again.











The girls are rewarded with stickers at the end of class for a job well done. Big A got 2 stickers. She was quite proud.










And there is the smile I love!

This is video of Big A's shining performance. She was so cute trying to do all the things the instructor was asking. She looked so grown up. Sorry about the audio on this. All you can hear is background noise from the warehouse we were standing in. I shot this through the glass. Enjoy!
