Maya's First Dance Recital

This past Saturday Maya had her first dance recital on the big stage. She did so well! Not shy or nervous at all. 

She had a bit of drama (but not extreme by any means) with her dance class. She was originally supposed to perform a song with her Princess Ballet class in a sparkly pink tutu, but just two weeks before the recital the other girls in her class that were going to do the recital dropped out! I was so disappointed! Maya's teacher offered to have her perform with the Ballet/Tap class instead. Maya was fine with that, so she had 4 practices of this dance before performing it on stage. I was so impressed with her; she knew the dance so well after having only practiced it a handful of times. 

Watching her dance on stage was emotional! Which surprised me! She was such a doll on stage. I could have watched her over and over again. She's the little one in the photos - most of the other girls in that class are 6+ years old.

At the end of the recital every student came out to give a final bow. 

We are so proud of our little dancer!
