Christmas Dance Recital





Today the girls had their Christmas dance recital. I wasn't able to take any photos of Emily in her costumes since she had them back to back and was changing in the dressing rooms and we were out in the audience. For the Christmas recital the costumes are provided by the dance studio so the girls put them on at the recital and then change back into their leotards or street clothes when they are done.
Tori on the other hand needed help getting ready since she was so nervous so I was able to get a quick picture of her in her costume. No she isn't smiling but the costume was pretty cute. Tori's dance number was to I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus in her tap shoes.
Emily had three dance numbers. Her first was a ballet number in which she wore a Christmas nightgown and danced to When Christmas Comes To Town from the Polar Express Movie. Her second number for her musical theater group was called Toy Sack by the B52's and she wore an elf costume. It was really cute. Her third number was for her tap/jazz class and she danced to Hot Chocolate also from the Polar Express Movie. She was dressed in a striped candy cane type body suit and wore a white apron and scarf above her bun and carried a bright red serving tray.

They both did very well and Jason's parents came with me to watch them. Jason stayed at home with the boys. We taped it for them (even though photography and video recorders were prohibited...)so they could see it when we got home and I made a dvd of all of their dance numbers. It was a great day to get us further into the holiday spirit. I can hardly believe that in less than a week Christmas will be here!!!

Wendy told me that the girls did great and they were really cute. However, apparently it was a long recital though.

They look cute! Love Tori's costume! I wish my girls were still in ballet. They loved it soo much but the teacher that they had was about to have a baby and I never found a new one.
