"Will You Show Us What You Do?"

Last Friday night was the first of four recital shows. I was asked to help backstage (with the youngest dancers) and since the girls didn't have many numbers in this show (Emma had two and Grace only one) they came to help with the little ones, too. After they had all arrived I looked over and saw them gathered around Grace (and then Emma) and how in awe of the older girls these little ones were. I couldn't help but take a couple of pictures to capture this sweet moment. xo 

Recital Day

And so ends another incredible year of dance! Today's recital was absolutely stellar (and may be my most favorite one yet)! All of the girls danced so beautifully, and I was definitely teary a few times during the show. Thank you to everyone who makes CSDS the amazing dance community it is! Special thanks to Lauri and Nicole for being the girls dance teachers this year. Their dancing truly improved so much this year and it's all thanks to your hard work and dedication. We are so blessed to be part of the Center Stage family and cannot wait to see all that next year brings! xo

{This Moment} On Costume Day

{This Moment} A Friday ritual. A single photo -no words- capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you are inspired to do the same leave a link to your moment in the comments section below. We wish you a wonderful end of April and a very Happy May Day on Sunday! xo

Grace's Jazz Costume

"Mama! Miss Lauri showed us our recital costume for Jazz today! It's red and has sparkles and this poofy spot that has red lips all over it! We have feathers for our hair and a wrist thing, too! Would you like me to draw it for you?!"-Grace

Take note that her hair is in a bun and her jazz shoes are on her feet. June cannot come fast enough! xo

Off To Dance Class

Hair up. Sweatshirt on. Dancing here we come!

The most exciting news out of dance class tonight was the announcement that Emma's class will be dancing to "Let It Go" from Frozen for their ballet performance during the June recital! Needless to say, June now can't come fast enough!
