Alainas First Dance Recital


A moment of extreme joy for me as a Mom was watching my baby girl perform in her very first dance recital!! I was enamored. Being a dancer myself this was one moment I have been sooooo looking forward to. Alaina had her very first dance recital this past Saturday, despite the terrible weather she did awesome! She performed a tap numbner with her class to the song Cool Yule. The weather was horrendous, raining like crazy. I was so worried that her costume and makeup would be ruined before she even got on stage. Her number was the fifth one from the very beginning of the show and it couldn't have come soon enough for me. Kurt and I watched with the boys, and Grandma Lark came as well to cheer her on. The studio dhas a lead girl for the younger classes on stage front and center with them so they have someone to watch when they forget the moves. Alaina came on stage and almost immmediately I teared up (something I was definitely not expecting to do) I was beaming and I just felt so much joy as I watched her tap her little heart out. Kurt was standing in the back taking video, the videos not the greatest quality, he was trying to hold Maddox and film.


She was given a trophy at the end of her performance and she had so much fun. I for one am looking forward to many more dance recitals.

ADORABLE!!!!! She did so good! She really knew those moves. And I love her little facial expressions, especially the last little nod at the end. SO cute!
