Beautiful Ballerinas...

Half way through one more busy (and blessed) semester of dance! I took this picture Friday night after Cast List was posted for Spring Recital. This year the studio is presenting excerpts from Cinderella. Grace and Annie had a fabulous week of classes, rehearsing all the pieces of choreography they had learned, enjoying every minute of it. It is, perhaps, the best time in the semester--they have already learned much of the choreography, and have the freedom to dance all the parts--before it is cast, and each begins to zero in on her particular pieces. But what fun they have reading the cast list, and seeing who is cast for each role. This year it was fun to see that one of their dearest friends is Cinderella! Grace will be Cinderella's Step-mother, and Annie will be featured as "Sunshine" during the "Summer" piece. Here they are, working on a poster to congratulate their friends on their parts. I love how the girls all support one another!
