Bitter Moments: Dance! Dance! Dance!

May 5, 2009

Dance! Dance! Dance!

The last weekend in April was my sisters dance recital!

It is so much fun to go to these recitals and see all the hard work they put into their dancing! They have improved so much and keep getting better and better. I never get bored at these dance recitals. Each year they are different and so much fun. Kristin, the owner of The Dance Barn always wants us to yell and shout and let the dancers know we think they are doing great!! That is one of my favorite parts! I love screaming Heidi, Holli, and Hopes names. Especially before or after the music so they can actually hear it. It is soooo fun!!! This year we also got to yell Madisons and Brookes names (my cousins).
*It is free so you all will have to come next year!

The theme this year was Dancing in Color! ~ probably one of my favorite themes~
They had 3 different recitals with my sisters in each of them.
This year Heidi had nine costume changes and 9 dances! So exhausting!! But alot of fun!
Holli and Hope had four costume changes and 4 dances!

****disclaimer*****
These pics are not the best, but I love them! It was hard to get a good picture. Next year I am sitting up close for at least one of the recitals so my zoom isn't so bad!

Okay so this pic will not mean much to most people, but it is actually a really funny part of the song. Their are two groups of girls and they are dancing off. Then the leader of the one group "shoots" the leader of the other group which is Heidi. So this is Heidi getting "shot"!

This was one of my favorite of Heidis. It was so, so, so very beautiful!

Heidi even had a little solo. She is so amazing!

This was the final number of the night. Think COLOR!

All Heidi

Heidi (in the dark blue-left)

Oh and Emily Klienkopf (dark blue-right)~ one of my former piano students!

Great job Heidi! I love you! And I especially love watching you dance! Because the dancing doesn't stop here. Oh no! Heidi is always dancing around the house.
I don't see her walking very much.

Now here is sweet Holli ~ far left. (jazz dance)

For some reason she was the hardest to get a good picture of,

but these pics were the best of what I got.

Holli (front)

Yes this is Holli!

And then there was the Color Production which included 5 or 6 different dance groups and each group had their own stage time and then they all danced together! It was so amazing!! Heidi, Holli, Hope, and Madison were all in this production.

First it was Hope and Madison. And they were with the black lights. Which you can't tell how cool it is with these pics, but believe me it was!!
