Wow did she have fun! Miss M's first dance recital was Saturday evening. She had a blast!
Dance classes were offered through our Parks & Rec department. The instructors did a wonderful job with the kids. Miss M and I both made new friends. :)

Their recital was Saturday night, so they held dress rehearsal Saturday morning. The whole morning, before we went to dress rehearsal (which was a FULL dress rehearsal with costumes, makeup, "dance hairdos", etc.), Miss M was literally bouncing all over the house and exclaiming "I get to dance on the high school stage! I get to dance on the high school stage!!" For many kids, this might be terrifying. Not Miss M. She has been to concerts, musicals, and other events in that HS auditorium so many times. Mama has her choir concerts there. Miss E has the band concerts there. The musicals are presented there. Miss Y has had concerts there. And FINALLY!!! It's Miss M's turn!!!
Having a blast on the stage at dress rehearsal!
The dress rehearsal went very well, and I had to corral a very wired, hyped up, wound up, excited little girl into the car so I could feed her lunch and try to get a nap in before dinner. Praise God, she napped! Whew!
Then after nap... "I get to dance on the high school stage! I get to dance on the high school stage!!" She was so excited to be having a performance of her own!
The recital was wonderful. Our little cutie was quite the silly girl on that stage, doing a great job and loving every minute! They danced to "You're the One That I Want" and another song from Grease. Their costumes were "Pink Lady" jackets (soooo cute!) and black pants.

After the recital, we gave her a bouquet and so did my parents and another dance mom. She carried those flowers everywhere!
Then we went to a favorite frozen custard place to celebrate. Miss M was smiling ear to ear from the time she finished the recital until she fell asleep that night! I'm surprised she got ANY sleep.
Well done, Miss M! We are so proud of you!
