Recital Week

Sarah had her dance recitals June 14th, 15th, and 16th, with dress rehearsals the 11th, 12th, and 13th. She did an awesome job performing her dances! Needless to say, we were really busy that week! Austin was away at soccer camp and LOVED it! Trevor was dragged along to dance while Steve danced in the Daddy Daughter Dance for recital. I was in charge of getting Sarah's hair and make up done before each show and also was one of the backstage moms on Tuesday's dress rehearsal and Friday's recital for our team's difficult hair changes. Sarah's team wore pony tail wigs for their jazz and tap dances, but had to take them out in between and go to a low bun for production and daddy daughter dances. Then back up to pony wig for the dance in the second half, and back down to the low bun for the finale! (Oh, and this is times 11 girls!) Whew! Here are some photos of our week.

We started with the banquet. Here is Sarah's team. They are the PDGs (Petite Dream Girls).

Sarah received her 5 year award because she has been dancing at CSDS for 5 years (though this includes 2 years of preschool dance, 1 year of recreational dance, and 2 years of competition). She also received the "Best Performance in Jazz" award.

Amidst all the craziness, I discovered that Trevor had a "shark tooth" (an adult tooth that erupted behind the existing tooth without displacing it, thus making rows of teeth like a shark).

The front one was loose enough for me to pull, so we pulled it out. This was Trevor's first lost tooth!

On to dress rehearsals...

On to recitals. This is the setup for our hair and makeup regimen before performances for recital or competitions.

Trish, Jenna, and Alexis came to see her Thursday recital.

Ready for her tap dance "Hokey Pokey"

Their tap teacher Julie got some shots of their tap performance from the side of the stage. Sarah is in the right side of most of these photos.

Fueling for recital #2

This year, Steve participated in the Daddy Daughter Dance with Sarah! They had a blast learning the dance throughout the year and they did a great job performing. The theme was "cops and robbers" and the girls were the law enforcement (police, SWAT, FBI, and CIA) and the dads were the robbers.
(Steve and Sarah are in the back right of the big group parts and on the left for the petites only part).

Nice lift Daddy!

Daddy, Austin, and Trevor came to watch the Saturday recital with Nanny and Grandpa.

After the last recital, it is tradition to take the girls out to Bonfire. This time, the air conditioner had broken, so it was quite warm in there, but the kids had a blast.
