Mother's Day dance recital

With the end of the school year, also comes the end of dance classes for the year. Maia and Ella have had a great year with the Dance Factory on Broadway, and were looking forward to putting on a fun show during the recital.

Ella was struck with a wall of stage fright as it dawned on her she would be dancing in front of other people. There were lots and lots of tears during the first act, but when her class came back for the second performance, she was right in there taking part. They did the cutest number called "The Shoe Song," where they pretended to be sleeping, then *jumped* up and danced around the stage. She looked so cute in her little snowball outfit!

Maia had done her dance on stage twice earlier in the season during competitions, so she was a little more eager to get up there and shake her thing. She had tons of fun, looked great, and really wants to get out there and do Hip Hop next year.
