I had no idea how much goes into these things! I was never a dancer (my sister was but I didn't pay that much attention). When the teacher said they need to have their hair in a tight bun my stomach dropped. What? Have you seen Julianna's hair? Wet hair and a LOT of hairspray worked like a charm. She wouldn't take her hair down.
Friday night I think she was a little nervous but our neighbor was also in the recital so that helped. She was excited to see Ella's costume. Ella was very sweet and held Julianna's hand backstage.
The performance went well. She smiled and did most of the right stuff. They each had a partner that they danced around. Julianna's was pretty clueless so Julianna kept telling her she was not doing it right. But it was all as cute as you can imagine. At some point they give out a video of the entire recital. Parents are not allowed to take pictures or video. It's awesome! You can just focus on your kid and not getting the perfect picture. However, I did take a video of the rehearsal. It's a little crazy and the lighting on Julianna is not great. I loaded it on my YouTube site. She is in the back row first dancer on the left. The one who keeps checking to see if she is on her green sticker. We are very proud of our little ballerina and I am sure we have many, many, many more ballet recitals in our future
