This past week Genevieve finished up her year of "Creative Movement" (aka pre pre ballet?). The year ended with a big show downtown at the Performing Arts Center. Viva was very excited about the show, no stage jitters or fright in this kid! She skipped all the way to the theater and was excited for her moment in the spotlight.
She wanted all of us to come and watch her, and we all trooped down. Matt, Lincoln, Bentley, Jake, and I. AND - Grandma Karen! The rest of the grandparents are all out of town, but we were lucky Grandma Karen could make it!
It was a very loosely structured number (that's putting it kindly!), but what mattered was the fun had by the dancer. She was right at the front edge of the stage, scooting, taking an extra curtsy at the end before leaving the stage.. I think she found the stage to be her friend. :)
Here's Viva with the lovely flowers she talked Grandma Karen into after the dance number:
Until the fall! The ballerina tells me that her dance class was not entirely serious enough for her, so we shall see if the new fall dance class and studio meets her standards of excellence for serious 5 year old dancers (said in all seriousness... !).
