In mid May it was time for Callie's annual dance recital. After 10 months of lessons that we don't get to attend, we finally get to see what we're getting for $160 a month.This year she is in four classes across three different disciplines. One hip hop, one tap and two ballet. This year it was Mom's turn to come to watch. We only get to purchase four tickets so not all the grand parents can see it each year. The theme was Survivor which allowed them to do pretty much whatever they wanted to because they could pick a country and perform a dance that was appropriate.
Callie's first dance was hip hop. I'm still not entirely sure what the country or the theme was but every year hip hop tends to do whatever it wants anyways. I think the reason they even have this style is because it allows them to be fairly free on what they teach and learn.
The next dance style was tap. We're not sure what style Callie likes best but Kerry thinks this is what she's best at. Unfortunately her teacher from this class is leaving this year and we all really liked her. Callie was most excited about this particular dance because she was assigned the special task of kissing goodbye to the crowed all by her self. Considering how shy she is at school, I'm amazed at how different she is on stage.
The final dance was ballet. She only had 3 minutes to change between styles as was evidenced by the fact that she was a snowball for tap and a Bon homme for ballet. Both from Canada. She managed to get it done though. (I'm sure Kerry wishes she changed that fast in the mornings before school.)
We finished the evening with flowers and a trip to Subway and another year is done. She starts again in September and will likely be going up to 5 different classes. Good thing it's only a 5 minute walk from our house.
