A Weekend of Firsts

It was a weekend of firsts. Glasses and a dance recital. Both brought immense amounts of excitement. I was lucky enough to be a stage hand...yes, I was a "Dance Mom". My job was to double knot laces and make sure Ella's class was in formation before entering stage left. Those moments before they sashayed onto the stage were electric. Stage fright is not something in Ella's vocabulary just yet. She reportedly wants to continue with dance class with the provision that it will be on stage and not at the studio. I was thoroughly impressed with the entire production. Dancers of all age groups performed thoughtful numbers. The choreography was smart and creative. The focus was certainly on artistry (as opposed to technique). A perfect fit for my passionate and energetic little girl. Although we will be taking the summer off from organized activities, I look forward to a return next fall. Please note, photos are certainly abstract. Hoping we can pull it off as intentional. We were trying to capture fluidity and movement my friends.
