Maisy's First Dance Recital

Maisy has spent the semester dancing! She has been studying tap and ballet with Miss Jo-Ann and has loved every minute of it. To show off what they have learned, Miss Jo-Ann's Little Dancers put on a Christmas Recital at the high school. The show consisted of 26 numbers with a grand finale of the entire group singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas".

Despite her enthusiasm, I was very nervous about Maisy and this show. My sweet girl is only 3 and being on stage for two numbers as well as waiting backstage without her family, well it seemed like a lot to ask. So for the grandparents reading this-- we didn't invite any guests to the show since we feared she might not even make it onto the stage.

 

Although I was called back to the dressing room three times-- because Maisy needed me :)-- she did AWESOME! She smiled, she danced, and she made up a lot of her own moves. Maisy was a little dancing diva.

My photos/videos during the performance are not great, I was too busy watching Maisy to properly document the event. But here are two iphone videos of her dances. Maisy is on the very left, with the big bun and bow.

Ballet- "Frosty the Snowman"

Tap- "All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth"

She lasted the entire 2 hour recital. And at the end, graciously accepted flowers from her adoring fans. 

Way to go Maisy!
