Bethany's dance recital has come and gone. It was great! Bethany has been dancing now for a total of 6 years. She would have been for 9 years but opted to take 3 years off between 4th and 7th grade. She regrets now that she stopped dancing during those years but at the time she wanted and needed a break. It is good to see her enjoying an art that she loves so much. She has not allowed herself to get too caught up in hours and hours of dance. She loves taking tap and jazz and is happy with that...I am too! It works out well for her.
This year's dance recital theme was "no regrets". For those of us who were lucky to attend the recitals, take our kids to weekly classes,dress rehearsals and so forth...there were no regrets. Here is a photo of Bethany that I took at our home prior to her Friday morning dress rehearsal. This is her tap outfit...she looked really cute in it.
Her tap teacher, Gail Black, has been teaching dance for years. She is an amazing instructor. She can work with young kids or adults. I am glad both Becky as well as Bethany have been fortunate to have her as their tap teacher.
Bethany loved her jazz instructor this year...a girl named Anna. Anna will be a senior in high school this year but dances like someone who is much older and teaches like someone who has been teaching for years. Bethany picked up on that and really did well in her jazz performance this year. It was great to see. The photo is a tad blurry but even still..she is flying :)
This photo is of Anna.
Dance is a medium where kids can grow their talents and develop self esteem along the way. I am glad my girls have chosen this route. They have had fun with it and have made great friends along the way.

I took 8 years of dance and it was the best time during my childhood. I'm glad that your girls have gotten that chance and it's great to see how much they love it.
