Because Delia was a part of the opening number for this year's recital, it meant a lot of extra time practicing and being present at both nights of recital this year. Usually we just have to be there for either the Friday or Saturday show, this year it was both. Fourteen hours at the performance center over 3 days felt sort of stressful, especially with the hundred other end-of-May things going on, but we survived and ended recital season tired, but proud of how much Delia has grown and improved again this year.
This is Delia's "Think" group at their last practice. This class/number was probably her favorite dance to be a part of ever. Her teacher really turned this group of girls into a team and encouraged them to encourage one another. Delia ends this dance year with all these new friends.
And here are some not great quality pictures of her dancing at the recital rehearsals. Good enough to keep the memories alive when we are scrolling back. :)
That high-energy curtain call after the show remains a highlight for Delia! The auditorium is sold out each night, so taking a bow to hundreds of people screaming for you really pumps her up, as you can imagine!
One last picture with her good church friend Brittany, who is "retiring" from dance after this season.
SUPER special this year was having Grandpa and Grandma catch the recital! They made it out for these milestone moments for our girls this May and we're so touched that they'd make the trip and endure our insane schedule to be there for their grandkids!
