We have been really looking forward to today! It's Katie's very first official dance recital. I started dancing when I was 3 and danced all the way up through high school, which was when other sports became a priority and demanded my attention. I remember getting all dressed up in fancy costumes with my hair and make up done and having special dance rehearsals and dress rehearsals. It was such a fun childhood memory that I could barely contain my excitement for Katie to be old enough to join a proper dance studio and have a similar experience to me.
We found a phenomenal dance studio in New Canaan that had a ballet class just for her and others her age. She went every week during the school year and at the beginning of 2015 is when they started learning the dance routine that they would be performing in front of a very large crowd at the Stamford Palace Theatre.
After having two dance dress rehearsals the week before, all the little ballerinas were ready to hit the stage. They all did an amazing job and as usual being the youngest in the entire show, they were a hit and highlight!!! Lots of laughs, applause and flowers to be handed out after her first performance. She was so proud and also really enjoyed watching the rest of the show that had every kind of dance imaginable. Can't wait for next years performance!
