This year Delia was excited to increase her involvement at her dance studio. Besides the normal 1 class/dance we let her take each year, she was also invited to audition for the big recital opening number and landed a part! So, she spent 2 hours a week learning 2 dances this season! It kept us a little busier, especially during play season and the weekend of the recital, but Delia is proud of her progress and work and both her dances were super fun to watch!
The opening number had about 30 girls in it and was to a 5 minute long montage of different songs, like "Sweet Dreams" and "Rhythm is a Dancer" and "Come Alive" and "Everybody Dance Now". Seeing all the different waves of dancers and moving pieces to this dance on the big stage was awesome. Delia did great in it!
But, Delia's favorite number was her jazz dance with 7 other friends to the song "Think" by Aretha Franklin. This song was SO CUTE with a message of empowerment about standing up for others and yourself. Delia got to play the part of the bully through dance and just loved being a part of this one with her amazing teacher Miss Bethany. (You can tell she is really feeling her costume in these pictures she posed for all by herself too!)
I don't ever order the pictures because Delia all dolled up in makeup, hairspray, and sequins is not my favorite way to remember her ;), but I am naughty and snap a little picture of the photos on the board at the recital. Enjoy!
