"I Want To Do That!"

About 3 weeks ago on Friday night, we were able to go to a ballet performance, yes ALL three of us. How did I manage to get Char to go? Easy- Heidi Anne asked him to come. Done Deal. Now how did I get my three year old to sit still and watch the 90 minute show without any electronic device? Easy again, she's a good girl who LOVES ballet.
The show was put on the by her Ballet School - and was funded mostly by our office that we live - I meant work at. Yeah for Conservice - free family activity! Sorry for the picture quality, I do have a strange feeling we'll be tweaking our filming in a performance environment over the next few years.

Heidi Anne loved to see her instructor, Miss Becky, perform. Ms. Becky is wonderful instructor! I think one reason is that you can just tell her passion for ballet and it just spreads to all those around her.

Did I mention she is a Prima Ballerina, who has been doing ballet since she was roughly Heidi Anne's age. She recently tried out for "So You Think You Can Dance?", she made it to the Vegas Round, which is amazing.

 We loved the other performances. It had various music (not just classical) and the instructors as well as a few of the older / higher level students choreographed some

This performance had nearly the whole company on stage-it was one of Heidi Anne's favorite.

For this piece most of the higher level girls were performing. It was do to more modern music. There was just a lot of energy for this dance. 

Every time Heidi Anne saw, a ballerina did a move or step she knew would whisper to us "Tondue, Sasha, first position). She wants to be a big girl ballerina even more now. I know she'll have so much fun when we go see "Sleeping Beauty".
