Dance, dance ☺

The girls got a chance to revisit their ballet "Exodus" recently. Our studio participates in a performance that includes several groups doing one or two dances each. Not all of the dancers go, mostly just the senior company (the teacher is great about including younger siblings :-). This year they did the opening Exodus scene with Hebrew slaves and Moses being found by the Princess and the finale dance. It is a really nice thing. The stress and work of our big show are over, but the girls get to enjoy (parts of) the show one more time before saying good-bye.

Backstage, waiting for the show to start.Ready for the show!

Caitlyn dressed as a Hebrew slave. She repeatedly told me that Hebrew slaves would NOT have time to put twists in their hair. (Lol - silly mom, I know, but her hair is so long and pretty, I wanted to dress it up a bit :-)

Yea, Caitlyn got to play the Angel of the Lord again

The tech folks stopped the music just a few measures after Caitlyn had started dancing. Caitlyn does NOT like unexpected glitches and was not pleased, but she handled it well, picking up her dance again as soon as the music re-started.

Later she told me her teacher was in the wings whispering, "I know you're not happy, but smile, anyway!"

We found out later they thought it was the wrong music, so stopped it, then were told it was the right music, so started it back. Caitlyn, ordinarily so patient and tolerant, said, "You would think the fact that I was dancing to it would have told them it was the right music!"

That totally cracked me up because it sounds exactly like me!

Anyway, it all worked out, the dance was beautiful, and I was very proud of how she handled the situation.

Kelsey's original dances weren't part of this show, so she got to try a different part, dancing as a reed when Baby Moses was in the water.

She was awfully cute :-)
