Last Saturday, BK danced in her second dance recital. Before I show you photos from the recital I need to show you her dance photo from this year. It’s pretty much my favorite photo, ever. For tap, they danced to the song Baked A Cake and the photographer asked her to make the face she makes when she gets to bake a cake. I had this or a posed picture with a smile, obviously, this was our choice.
On Friday, we had a dress rehearsal I was pretty impressed in the difference from last year to this year! She is always so happy on stage and performing. I love that it doesn’t bother her to stand in a crowded room full of strangers and sing and dance her little heart out.
There was plenty of back stage hanging with Sophie. These two are going to miss seeing each other every Tuesday.
BK lives for the recital. I don’t know how many times we had the talk about having to practice each week to be prepared for the recital. Especially towards the end, she was over the weekly practices once the recital costumes came in and hung in her closet for weeks.
But, we persevered, and the end result was fantastic. She had a whole cheering section including grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, friends, and even sweet little baby brother.
She was showered with flowers after her recital and she has loved them being in her room this week.
We moved right along and started gymnastics on Tuesday because she isn’t sure what she wants to do in the fall. I guess we’ll see in the coming weeks if a third dance recital is in our future.
