Lucy's dance recital is this weekend! I love watching her dance and she's amazing!
When she was 2(3 by end of year), 3(4 by end of year), and 4(5 by end of year), she did recreational classes. That means she had one forty-five minute a week and learned 2 dances. Ballet and tap. They perform in 1 out of 3 recitals at the end of May/beginning of June.
This year she joined a competition team. She's in mini company. Its ages 4-8. She started the year when she was 5, but now she's 6. Mini company does one competition and performs her ballet and tap dances at all 3 recitals(2 on Saturday, 1 on sunday)
(A/N- Hailey was born in March, Lucy was born in April, Max was born in May)
Since I was in the hospital with Hailey in march, I missed Lucy's competition.
I was so sad that I missed her very first competition.
Next dance season she's gonna do mini company again so hopefully I can be with her for the competition next time
I haven't seen her dances in costume and on stage yet and I'm so excited
Everyone's going to her recital. Me, my mom, Caleb, Max, Hailey, Spencer, Toby, Amelia, Aria, Ezra, Emily, and Alison.
Her ballet dance is called Never Grow Up, by Taylor Swift. They have little pink and white flowy dresses with a flower crown. They're adorable!
It really reminds me about how fast my kids are growing up. It seems just yesterday we were in the hospital room more than 6 years ago and Lucy was born. Now she's in kindergarten and an amazing dancer. And we have 2 more amazing kids.
Her tap dance is called baby birdie bop. They're all little birds and their costumes are blue and green with feathers. Its such a cute dance.
Her 2 best friends, Riley and Kaitlyn, are in her kindergarten class and in mini company with her.
I just finished Lucy's hair and makeup so now we're in the car driving to the recital and Lucy is so excited
"You guys get to see me dance on stage today!" Lucy says
"Im so excited to watch you" I say
"Youre going to love my dances" Lucy says
"Right daddy? Did you like them at the competition?" Lucy asks
"Yes baby, they were so good" Caleb says
"Max are you excited?" I ask
"Ya! I wanna see sissy dance again!" Max says
"Does Hailey want to see me dance?" Lucy asks
"Of course" I say
"She loves you very much" Caleb says
We arrive at the school where the recital is held and go to the dressing rooms
Caleb carries Hailey and her things and I take Lucy's dance things
When Lucy walks into the dressing room she sees Riley and Kaitlyn and they start talking and dancing around together
I set up Lucy's stuff next to Riley's and Kaitlyn's then we start talking with Riley's and Kaitlyn's parents
Caleb and Max go with the guys and sit in the auditorium because there's no guys in the dressing rooms
I start talking with Kayla(Riley's mom) and Rebecca(Kaitlyn's mom)
"So how's Hailey?" Becca asks
"She's such a good baby, and Lucy and Max love her" I say
"Could I hold her?" Kayla asks
"Sure" I say and hand Hailey to Kayla
Lucy, Riley, and Kaitlyn come over because Lucy wanted to show them her baby sister
"Mom is that Lucy's baby sister?" Riley asks
"Ya come over here and look" Kayla says and the three girls go over by Kayla and Hailey and play with her a little
About 15 minutes later everyone is here and changed with hair and makeup done for their ballet dance
The performance will start in about 20 minutes. We leave the mini company girls with their assistant Sierra. Sierra and their teacher Danielle will bring them backstage and help them go on stage so we can watch from the audience then after their performance go back to the dressing room to get them changed into their tap costumes for the 2nd half of the recital
I find my spot in the audience next to Caleb and my mom and all my friends. Everyone is here and ready to watch Lucy dance.
The opening performance is the big production. Its for competition level 2 companies who do all 4 competitions and have dance 3-5 days a week and have solos and duets and all kinds of other stuff.
Mini company is the next to perform. Their dance was beautiful and I started crying because my baby was so good and the song really touched my heart
I help Lucy change again the go back to my seat in the auditorium to watch the rest if the recital
A/N - wow long chapter. My chapter are usually 200-600 words and this chapter was like 900 words
Did you guys like this?
I based it off of my dance life because I'm the assistant for mini company in real life at my studio and those are their actual dances and theyre are literally the cutest little kids ever.
Anyways, I really liked this chapter because it was about dance lol
Love you guys, have a great day/night!
