Spring 2017 Ballet Recital

The girls had their end of year ballet recital recently. My family and the Sharps were all there and the girls both did a great job.  Here are a few shots from the dressing room before the show started.

Spring Dance Recital

The day after graduation the girls had their spring dance recital. This was Sophie's second time on stage and Lauren's first. They both did really well!

Sophie's class was divided into birds and flowers. Here's Sophie as a bird standing behind her flower. 

Sophie's First Ballet Performance

Sophie and Lauren have been taking ballet for about 3 months, and Sophie had the chance to perform in the school's annual holiday performance of The 12 Days of Christmas. She was a drummer. Although she was super nervous leading up to the big day, she did a great job and had a good time. She even told me afterward that "it was pretty fun." I'll consider that a success.

Here's the little drummer girl
