This is Emily's 2nd year in high school, and her 2nd year taking a dance class for high school credit. This has been the BEST class for her!!! She gets to exercise every day as they go through various dance routines (YES to exercise!), and all the girls in the class have been wonderful to her! All through the school year, they work on a dance recital......and it was 2 weeks ago. It's 2 nights, and it has been very very well done both years Emily has been in it. (LOL I'm sure it was very well done in the years before Emily arrived at the high school too, but we didn't go then!)
Emily was in 2 different dance routines and did SO well!!!! Her teacher sent me an email just a few days before the performance telling me that Emily was doing even better this year than she did last year. She tells me that she has been amazed by how hard Emily worked to memorize all the dance steps. Last year, I went backstage to "be there" for Emily in case she needed help to change clothes or do her make up, etc. This year, I decided to just drop her off at the drama center and let her manage on her own. Other girls helped her with her make up, and she did just fine with changing costumes, etc. I was one proud mom!!!
First pic is Emily at home, just before we left for the recital..........sort of a goofy looking costume, but it was perfect for the "gangster" type of dance they did!
Emily and her dance instructor, just after the last performance.
Don't have pics of the actual dance!
