recital time | June 2010

With the end of school and the end of June comes the much anticipated dance recital in this small little town. It's quite the ordeal, at least for the mother of two tiny dancers who appear in a combined five dances. The bobby-pins, the hairspray, the tights, the driving, the practicing, the mid year whine of "I don't like dance anymore!" It all culminates on this one wondrous day...and what a day it is.



Actually, Zoey danced on two nights - the older, big girls get to perform not once, but twice. In my mind when I see that on the schedule I see... two nights of torturous hair styling and subsequent cleaning and detangling. Oof! I can safely say I would never be a Toddlers with Tiaras mom - it's just not my bag. BUT, I have to admit, once I see those girls shine so beautifully on stage it's all worth it. As long as they love it (aside from the winter burnout and whine) we'll keep busying our June with the details of dance.
