"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Performance

This week I was excited to get our performance pictures.  A big "thank you" to the wonderful Robilyn Lake and Angie Wilson for taking the photos for us.  The top few are the class pictures, below are candids from rehearsal.  (There's a lot there of me pointing with a funny look on my face.)

BUMBLEBEES


This was my biggest class, and my favorite costume.  They were pretty hilarious on stage too.

BLUEBIRDS


FLOWERS


I loved this picture of them, because it really shows the personality of the girls.

RAINBOWS


Two of my dancers for this class couldn't join us, but they still did a great job.

REHEARSAL PHOTOS


For those of you who have done this with me before... I decided to do pictures during rehearsal.  It was good because I didn't have enough people at the Performance to run pictures backstage while we danced, but it was also really hard to practice those parts of the show we all did together.



This is Wynne, who did a Personal Progress Project and danced with us.




It went better than I thought, and we had a great time.

Oh - wow! Everything looks amazing & I echo another comment that I wished we lived by you so my Miss M could take from you! The costumes are all incredibly perfect & beautiful....and I love all the photos that were taken of the dancers.

You must feel relieved and so happy the recital is over - and what a great accomplishment! Your first year in a new area & look at what you went and did....amazing! btw - where do you teach? Do you team up with a studio, or rent space somewhere?
