She Could Have Danced All Night!

Last weekend was dance recital weekend!
Oh my word -- what a production!!


Dance recital weekend is big as in B I G! 
There were extra practices, professional (??) photos,
bun workshops (should have attended!)
dress rehearsal, costumes and then two, yes two, performances!


Maddy was in Acrodance -- a combination of acrobatics/gymnastics
with a little dance thrown in for good measure.
This was the first year Acrodance was in the recital and
as it didn't seem like they really had a performance figured out for the young
Acrodancers.
Even so, Maddy and the other dancers did a fabulous job especially with the
 rather large number of dancers on the stage -- 
luckily, no one got hit during a cartwheel or back walkover! 
So proud of Miss M and the hard work she put in!
Bonus, I even figured out how to manage a pretty good "low bun!!"


It was so much fun to see the little girls doing their ballet and tap -
so adorable!  
Some little cuties totally forgot what to do
and stood and played with their tutus!  
So sweet!

Happy to report there were no "Dance Moms" in 
Maddy's group!  
And now a break from dance for the summer
except for some short fun camps!

Acrodance!

Hello Friends!

Happy April 1st!

Maddy has tried various
gymnastics, dance, cheer and back to gymnastics classes
through the years.


This year, she is doing a class called 
Acrodance!

It's a combination of gymnastics and dance - 
though mostly gymnastics!


She loves it 
and is very flexible!
She laughs when I tell her that 
I can barely do a somersault!


Unfortunately, she just
had to have a little ingrown
toenail surgery.
I will spare you that photo!

She's so brave and tough
but may have to miss acrodance this week.
She hates to miss class, but that 
toe is much too painful right now.
Would love a few prayers for some 
speedy healing if you have a moment!
Thank you friends!
