Samantha’s class was ready to go backstage! They looked adorable!

With their teacher Miss Hailey!

Their song was called “Electricity” and they were electric on stage!!

I sure loved to watch Samantha shine right in the middle! Her pretty smile and teeth looked so good up there!

She knew the dance so well and didn’t miss a beat! She’s a STAR!!!

My goodness I love this little girl and love watching her do her thing. I think we might be in for another year of dance! She can’t resist the stage!

I’m so proud of my dancer!

Samantha was the star of the stage last week at her dance recital! She did a Sunday afternoon class all year with some buddies and they had the cutest dance for the big show! Samantha wasn’t super jazzed about the tutu but it ended up looking very cute on stage!

I’ve perfected the bun by this point!

Practicing her moves!

We were all so excited to watch our dancer dance!!

Cutest dancer ever!!

Show pics to come!

Last week we got to watch our dancer shine on the stage again! She knew her dances, the kept the biggest smile on her face, and she lit up the stage!! Unfortunately Robert and Spencer had to miss out because of Spencer’s baseball game but GJ, Susan, Maxwell and I were there to cheer her on!

Once again, I was pretty proud of the bun!!

Dance is more fun with buddies!!

Sitting through the whole dance recital is also more fun with buddies!! Thankful Maxwell had a friend there too.

Samantha’s ballet number – “A Whole New World” was near the beginning and she was front and center the whole time!

We then had to sit through about an hour and a half of other performances before it was finally time for her tap routine to “What’s My Name”. It was worth the wait though!!

I sadly think this is Samantha’s last year doing dance. She just doesn’t love it…and I don’t love the style of dance the girls do as they get older…so it’s the right decision. I’ve so enjoyed watching her dance though and glad she stuck with it as long as she did!

Samantha just shines in whatever she does and I love getting to be a spectator to it all!

Great job, Samantha! We are so proud of you!

All dance posts here!

We were all ready to see our star shining up on stage! Ballet was up first with Chinese Flower…

My beautiful ballerina! Up next we had jazz with Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride…

Samantha’s favorite was next – hip hop! It was a fun dance to Mi Gente…

Look at that smile up front!

Finally, my favorite – tap! Paris in the Rain with the cutest sparkly costume ever!!

The show had some technical glitches and I can’t way all the dancers knew their dances very well. But, smiley Samantha knew what she was doing up there and stole the show! We love our dancing star!!

I sure do love to watch my girl shine!

Dancing superstar!

Samantha’s dance recital was last week and she was a star on the stage!! Just like last year, I had the bun high and tight!

She was ready to go in her first costume and looked pretty as could be!

We were so happy GJ could be here this year to watch her perform.

Off we went to the Alabama Theater!

Of course Susan was already there waiting at the front of the line for us! We love Mrs. Susan!!

These cute tiny dancers were ready to hit the stage!

More to come tomorrow!
