First Dance Recital




Our Little Ballerina






Erica and Madelyn--dance buddies!

Dancing the Jitterbug dance.




One of her favorite parts of the gym is the running warm-up.

One of the skills they are learning is how to use a spring board and jump.

Madelyn received the "Miss Independent" award...Who would have thought!

Madelyn's first dance recital was hoot to watch. The evening was divided up into three sections. The opening dance include parent participation in the Chicken dance and then the girls showed off their graceful Ballet skills. After a short shoe change we were energized with their Tap rendition and the final portion was a showcase of gymnastic skills they had learned during the course of the semester. At times I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as I watched my baby girl dance. She was so beautiful and did an amazing job. Not bad for being the youngest girl in the studio and I know that she had a blast the Little Gym.
