Classics for Kids 2015

What a day! Faith, Training and pointe dancers spent several hours of it running all over the local mall. With rehearsals until late last night and five different pieces performed today, I can honestly say that I’m falling asleep sitting up, so when this post comes out repetitive and full of typos, we can all have a good laugh. 🙂

Flashback to Classics 2014: I performed in one dance. It was a lot of fun – something that I will never forget, in fact. Revisiting Hungarian for a day was about equal to somebody handing me a bag full of chocolate coins (emphasis on the chocolate).

That said, upping the dance count to five this year was both nerve racking and exciting. Faced with more quick changes than I ever thought possible, it was a fantastic experience in more ways than one. Given the opportunity to transform once again into Firebird, I soaked up the sunshine (quite literally, since there were windows right above the stage), and the pointe and Training dances went really well, for a first show. Plus, I don’t think I’ll ever worry about a quick change again in my life, especially when I’m surrounded by such lovely people as Abby, Caroline and Moriah. <— three reasons why my head is still on

A special thanks to Ms. Tina, Miss Sara and Miss Mia for their hard work in organizing this event for us and, as always, for their dedication. Also to my mom, who is now a professional when it comes to tutus. I’m pretty sure she could button Firebird up with one hand tied behind her back. That’s talent. And to Abby, Caroline and Moriah because I can’t thank them enough.
