there is nothing that makes me prouder than watching madeline dancing on stage. i actually can't believe how graceful she is (does not get that from me) and watching her knowing how much hard work and practice goes into it all, just makes it that much sweeter.
tonight was her dance schools end of year concert - this years theme was "rebel heart" and our sweet girl was in three dances this year
first up was her primary ballet class - who performed the spanish dance
complete with fans and all. so cute! i loved their red tutus.
some wonderful mums and dance teachers even posted some backstage shots, so we got to see it from all angles. haha
next up - her lyrical troupe. they did the same dance they performed at the april and october competitions - stand by me.
same dance meant same costumes, which was fine by me - one less costume we had to buy haha
our cute lyrical girls with their teacher miss georgia
finally - maddie was part of a large ensemble consisting of multiple ballet technique classes in together. we all looooved this costume, a white tutu with a coloured swirl around it, different ones depending on their level in the class - purple (junior), blue (senior) and gold (advanced/en pointe)
i take my hat off to whoever put this dance together - it had all kinds of elements and separate dances within it and somehow it all came together. i have to admit that even on stage rehearsal night i was a bit worried. for no reason apparently.
look at these cuties backstage - having a good time!
it was a great show and i loved it! seeing how much works goes into one evening is incredible and i am in awe of those who put it all together.
the only sad part was having to say goodbye to madeline's beautiful dance teacher miss georgia. she is moving to queensland next year to study and i know she will be so missed, not just by our girl, but so many of them. she has been such an incredible teacher and really nurtured madeline and believed in her, even selecting her to dance in the lyrical troupe. she taught her in ballet this year and last year and then in the lyrical as well this year. miss georgia we will miss you!
what an amazing year at dance. can't wait for the next one!
