We Are Family! (Recital Wrap-up)

Because Olivia is in the Company this year (the competing group), she had to be in BOTH dance recitals and finales. So, Saturday was an all day practice to prepare for the recitals. I was able to take a few pictures during the rehearsal (no cameras allowed during the recital itself. We purchased the DVD so if you want to see it, just ask!).

The first dance they did was Boogie Shoes and then the finale, We Are Family (they actually had a cute little dancing part in it--and Liv had her own little part where the others got to the side and all pointed at her 'wiggling'. She LOVED that part!) Then their group performed Walk the Dinoaur during the second recital, and the same part in the second finale. My mom came for both (well, about half-way through the second one she took Isabella home because that poor baby had HAD IT), and my sister came for the first half of the first recital.

I have to say I really did enjoy the day. I am really loving for her to be in dance. She has SUCH a stage presence. :) I can't WAIT for Nationals in 3 weeks!

Here are a few pictures from the rehearsal.

Look at their jazz teacher, Ms. Jamie sitting by the curtain. She is so happy!
