I LOVE dance recital day! Christmas, Easter, birthdays, and dance recitals are my favorite days of the year! I love to see the girls all dressed up and dancing their hearts out up on that stage!
The dance school has grown so much that they have had to hand out a specific number tickets per family the last two years so this time the teachers decided to do two back-to-back shows so more people could attend. It meant we were there an extra hour and half, but I thought it worked out great! And it was so fun, because Noni and I signed up to help backstage for one of the shows and got to see all the action!
The reason it is such a long day is because they do pictures and dress rehearsal the same day. Bug had to be there at 12:30, Boo at 1:30, and Peanut at 2:30, and we didn't get home until 6:45 that night.
Picture time!
These girlies are SO cute! L's mom took these and texted them to me.
I got video and Papa took these pictures during the first show at 4. Buggy started off the show with jazz.
Boo's hip hop! Love that facial expression!
Peanut's jazz.
Boo's ballet.
Bug's tap.
Peanut's tap...surfin' USA. They wore visors and hers kept slipping down over her eyes! Poor girl! But she weathered it like a trooper and kept dancing even though she could barely see!
Twice it came all the way down around her neck and she quickly put it back on her head without missing a move. They ditched the hats for the second performance, but I was so proud of her for doing such a good job with a big wardrobe malfunction. The show must go on!

Buggy's ballet.
I think they said they had 64 dancers this year!
Oh and we can't forget the special guest dancers. The amazing and awesome Daddy Dancing Troupe performing Boys II Men...
Lol! Everyone said it was their best dance yet!
Papa and Mama were SUPER helpful and took Peaches back to the house and fed her dinner during the 2nd show. It was would have been very hard to keep her occupied backstage so I was very thankful!
I was in charge of Bug's group during the 2nd recital, but I had lots of extra time so I helped Peanut and Boo with some costume changes as well. It was fun to see what goes on backstage! Normally the preschool group is running around CRAZY, but Noni was in charge of them and had them lined up like perfect little angels listening to her read books. She's a miracle worker with that age!
The teachers said the 2nd show was even better since all the kinks were worked out and I think they will do the 2 show format again!
After the 2nd show we gave the girls flowers and I made them pose for pictures. Love my amazingly talented little dancers!
My FOUR amazing dancers that is! Haha!
Lookin' good dads! :)
Another amazing year with Miss A!
And Miss L!
We are so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful dance program! Can't wait for next year!
