First Ballet Recital
You’ve got to watch the video past the first minute. It takes a while for Annada to get warmed up :).
Getting ready to go! It\’s the first time I\’ve put make-up on Annada.
All ready to go.
Waiting backstage with her class for the show to start.
After the show.
Since her recital Annada has been soaking up ballet. She watched all two hours of the American Ballet Company’s Swan Lake and danced around the living room while watching. Then tonight she asked to watch the Cinderella ballet for our “sleep over night” (a tradition when Daddy is at magic night), so we watched a 30 minute version of the Russian Ballet. She sat still the whole time.
My beautiful ballerina.
The fan club, part 1. The Butchers came to watch and even gave Annada pink flowers.
The fan club, part 2. Most of the YearOners came too. JP made the video – thank you!
Annada with her best friend from church, Abby.
With her teacher, Ms. Briana Hofer.
And a few seconds later… it was very hard for Annada to stay still after the recital. Bunnies jump!
We asked Annada how she wanted to celebrate and she asked to go to Old MacDonald for fries and ice cream. The Butchers came too.
You were a darling bunny! Nice job dancing at the recital!!!
Someday I hope to see one of your dance recitals!!!
I loved the video, especially her solos after the clapping started! What a sweet little girl. 🙂
