But Wait! There's More!

Here is a video of Ari and Ellison's Indian Lands staging.  They sure had fun together in modern this year!  They were very expressive onstage.

Esmae, in the Three Little Kittens dance.  In some backstage irony, the mittens for the three little kittens dance were lost for the matinee.  None of the kittens got any pie that day.

I was looking for a heartwarming quote about cousins and I came across this one, which seemed perfect:  "God made us cousins because he knew our moms couldn't handle us as sisters."  Hee hee!  Wait.  Do you think that's true?  I love these girls!  But strange things happen when they get together!

Italian ice and custard.  It's not recital week if you don't get treats.

And here is the original picture.  It was Alice in Wonderland.  I was the March Hare and Sarah was the Mad Hatter.  We had a little pas de deux in the recital.  How I wish I had it on video!

Even if I don't have a recording of the original dance, we can still do the pose!  Sorta?  All we need are the ears and a pocket watch.  Recitals always leave us with good memories, funny quotes and pivotal moments.  Our best quote this year was from Xanthe when she found out one of her friends had quit ballet.  She said, "QUIT ballet?  How would you DO that?"  Xanthe is already pestering me about when she gets to go to Pat's and get her new ballet shoes for next year.  It will be her first year in shoes! She has tried on every pair in the house and they're all too big.  Patience, little one.
