Ashley at ballet

2nd post for the day

Her first recital that she is participating in is March 19 and to say she is excited is a GROSS understatement!

Here are pictures-only from my phone sorry-from the picture day in costume and recital practice.

 Above is called ballet pose

 I think her favorite thing is the poufy sparkly skirt!  She could hardly stand still while wearing this.

 She was WAY too excited for an almost 5 year old getting to wear make-up for the pictures

 Here is her group of recitalists-Ashley is front left.  Another way we stick out, the teacher said "no colored hair accessories"  I interpreted that to mean black bun covers.  The one Ashley always wears to class is pink and no matter which one she uses it will be seen in her hair-oh well.  I told her that since the costume is red she would wear a black one for the recital!

 Her teacher is in the front in the pink shirt and black pants.  Ashley is in the middle, blue sash and pink bun cover.  She has been promoted to the next level in their most recent evaluations though and will get a fuschia uniform when class resumes in April-like the girls in the hot pink tops with white skirts near the mirror.

 Part of their dance is sliding around in a circle and doing in and out-very cute

Ashley calls these "the blue girls".  They are an even more advanced level and their class meets after Ashley's.  I cannot wait to see the recital-know that it will be fun!
