June 7th was a special day for J4. It was her first dance recital, and she did an outstanding job. She performed 3 routines: a ballet, a tap and the finale.
She danced so well in all 3 of her dances, but you could tell she especially had fun dancing the tap routine. It was called "Shake Your Tail Feathers." I have to admit that I was a bit worried about the title of the routine, but it turned out to be mostly just the little girls shaking a feather boa and doing "the twist." Very cute!
J4's ballet routine was called "I Dream of You." They danced with baby dolls. It was just a precious little dance number. I especially liked the pictures of J4 doing that dance routine.
The finale included all the dancers from the dancing school. J4 had a great time skipping up the center aisle and then twirling on the stage with about 60 girls. She was obviously having the time of her life.
I have to say that I think J4 was THE BEST DANCER ... however, I never took my eyes off her to even begin to see how she might compare to the others. Fortunately, everyone else seated around me (my parents, my sister, my aunt and the boys) totally agreed with me.
As for J4 ... well, she just ate up being on stage. She's never really been on stage before and I was a bit apprehensive about how she might respond to the bright lights and big crowd. She wasn't the least bit concerned about it. At the end of the finale and awards, J4 didn't want to come off the stage. And when I was trying to change her clothes, she didn't want to take off her little costume. I think she rather enjoyed her time in the limelight. After yesterday's recital, I think it is safe for me to continue to make room in the budget for J4's dance lessons.
Enjoy the pictures of my little dancer!
