Dancing in the Reign


Before we left for Mexico, Emma had her dance recital.  Its theme was our blog title.  This year, she was in two dances:  Hot, Hot, Hot (tap) and Totally Minnie (jazz).  They were cute, as always.  Her class has gotten so much better since last year.  Last year, they all had to look offstage at their teacher the whole time, and half of them forgot what to do next.  This year, (mostly) no one watched the teacher, and while they are still dancing at a very  basic level, their rhythm was better, and they even tried to smile and dance at the same time (tough for 6 year olds!)


 Here they are at dress rehearsal, all lined up to go.  So pink and girly.


Emma loves dance so much.  Though rhythm and movement don't come naturally to her, she has an amazing memory and can always remember all the steps.  I am excited to watch her grow each year as she keeps dancing.

We weren't allowed to film the recital, so this is one of her dances from their dress rehearsal.  Their dancing makes me laugh (especially when they try to shake their hips!), but they're so cute, and really, they have learned so much this year!
