Talent Show: Ballet - "If Only" (& Teacher's Act)

There is a talent show at school every year in which all of the elementary school gets to watch, but only grades 3-6 can try out to perform. Yes, they do have to try-out and kids do get cut, which Isabel felt so bad for some friends that were cut. Anyways, this is the ballet that she did in the fall dance session with her friends Lydia and Jillian. They were the only 3 from our school that was in the group. They spent the last month working on figuring out how to end & when to end, since it could only be 2 minutes long and this was originally about 3 1/2 minutes long. Plus there was a section that they did different things when they did the dance and they had to figure out what to do instead and agree. So, below you can now see it because I didn't tape her dances from the fall since I had forgotten my camera and only had my phone.




And then there was the Teacher's Act at the talent show. There were 15 acts total including an act by the Student Council and a Teacher's Act by just some of the teachers.

Dance from age 3 to age 9, 11 recitals

Winter Dance Recital

Her Summer Dance Recital

This is before we left for her recital. I put a little eye makeup on her and she thought that was so special.

There are actually 5 ballet positions that they learn & did, but I didn't get my camera going fast enough, so you just get to see of them.

She received flowers from her grandparents (Thanks again for getting there so early & getting us front row seats!!!!!) and her daddy. She was more than excited to be getting flowers. With several dance recitals a year, she will have received more flower by the time she is 5 that I have in my whole life. Lucky girl.
