the dance studio that i teach for had their dance recital this weekend at the theatre and it went great. the show was "british invasion" themed so we had a lot of fun british-themed props. noah really got a kick out of the little british guard that was his size!
the dance company that i teach for was asked to dance again this year at the moscow country street fair parade on friday night. the weather was great and the dancers did a great job dancing in the parade. last year noah was just a little tike and rode in the stroller along the parade route. he was happy to join again this year and did a good job riding in the parade!
i dressed up noah in his dance company onesie for my studio's dance recital on saturday. when we got home saturday night, he was showing off his best dance moves before bed. such a good little dancer!
it was truly a power-packed weekend at the theatre with four back-to-back shows thursday through sunday.
we kicked off the weekend with my dance studio's holiday recital "'twas the night before christmas" on thursday. i choreographed 4 dances for this show and it all went great! then on friday we had the new york tenors with their christmas concert. (you can see more photos from that concert on the theatre's facebook page here.) on saturday, we had a 60s, 70s, and 80s rock tribute band. we closed out the weekend on sunday with another holiday dance recital.
needless to say, we're exhausted. there's only one more show in december before we're done for the season!

one of the summer intensive classes that i'm teaching this summer is our first-year pointe class. it's always an exciting day when our girls go to the dance store to get fitted for their first pair of pointe shoes. it was a rainy day, but that didn't dampen the girls' excitement. they all got their shoes and were ready to try them out for the first time in class!

we made it through lots of dance recitals this spring from april through june and we're exhausted. add a baby to recital season this year and wowza!
we ended the season on sunday with the dance studio where i teach. the recital was broadway themed which was right up my alley!
everyone did a great job and we're all super proud of them!
on sunday, the dance company that i teach for held their annual holdiay recital at our theatre. this year's show was "miracle on 34th street" and it turned out great.
noah made his stage debut when he came out on stage at the end for the show for bows. he was dressed as a little elf and i put on my old christmas dance costume so that him and i were extra festive!
last thursday was the last day of summer dance classes. we finished off the summer intensive/camp sessions by holding a little showcase performance for the parents at a local park. our students danced under the pavilion and showed off a little of what they had learned this summer. i taught them ballet and musical theatre over the past several weeks this summer and it was a lot of fun. the girls did a great job!
after dancing in the parade on friday, we were back at the moscow country street fair on saturday afternoon because some of our dancers had the opportunity to perform selections from our june recitals at the food court tents.
it was wicked hot and humid, and i was sweating just standing there and watching them, but the girls did a great job!
love, laurie
the dance company that i teach for was asked to dance again this year at the moscow country street fair parade on friday night. we were scared that it was going to rain on the dancers, but the rain held out until after the parade so they stayed dry. they did a great job dancing in the parade!
since i'm 9 months pregnant, i got to ride along the parade route in the music truck instead of walking/dancing the whole parade and i was super grateful for that!
