Anna's May Show

Anna's dance show was last night. She was in three numbers: musical theater (singing & dancing), ballet, and tap. She really enjoys dance and was looking forward to wearing her costumes and putting on make-up. This week was really hectic with practices and rehearsals, but we survived!! I asked Anna if she was nervous and she said "At first when I saw all of the people, I was a little nervous, but after that I loved it!" I think we have a little performer on our hands.



In her musical theater number, they sang "You've Got A Friend In Me" from Toy Story. This group is kindergarten through 2nd grade. They were all dressed as different characters (toys). Anna was a kitty cat. She stayed in character the entire time. Anytime she had a picture taken, she had her hands together and her head tilted. You can tell by the picture that she is really getting into it. All of the kids did a fantastic job.




Okay, this was an interesting number. They were eels and tap danced to Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff" (don't worry, it was instrumental only, no words :) During the rehearsals, my mom and I almost flipped a lid when we saw Anna dance. She was shaking her hips like Shakira. It was hilarious!! I had several other moms come up to me and make comments about it. She definitely got her groove on!

This was her ballet dance. They were dragons. Isn't she a cute dragon? Just so you know, I was very domestic with the headpiece. I actually sewed the elastic to the headpiece. I know that probably doesn't sound like a big deal to most of you, but it was HUGE for me. My mom offered to do it, but I really wanted to do it myself. I was very proud that it stayed on. Now, I can actually say I have sewn something!!
