Dance Recital!

Melissa and Jenna had their Spring Dance Recital last night. This is Melissa performing her solo "Dirty Little Secret". She did it for competitions in April and placed second at both competitions. She is now in the Intermediate category, so second was a pretty big deal for her. Last year she did a solo in the beginner category and won, so she had to move up to the next category this year.
Jenna has just been so excited to finally be up on stage she doesn't seem to have any fear. She seems to get up there and just smile the entire time and can be pretty animated with some of her facial expressions.
Both girls got a trophy for participating and Melissa got a medal for going the extra mile during class. It doesn't surprise me, she has always taken dance very serious and really wants to do a good job. She sometimes gets frustrated when the other girls mess around during class. Jenna on the other hand I think gets wound up with the other girls in class and sometimes when I pick her up from class she'll tell me she didn't get a treat after class because she was being naughty.

Jayden didn't cooperate so well during the recital. I spent most of my time in the back of the auditorium with him running around. I missed seeing Jenna, but I had seen most of Melissa's dances at competition. I did get to see Jenna this morning on the video camera and she did really well. I wish I knew how to add video to these blogs, if I did I would include a snip of Jenna and Melissa. I guess I will have to get Lisa to show me how some time.
