The theme for the ballet recital was Good Night Moon and 3 other children's classics. Both Lily and Kathryn were in The Velveteen Rabbit. Lily was a Toy Soldier and her dance was right before Kathryn's. Kathryn was a Raspberry from the scene where the Velveteen Rabbit gets left outside. She loved being a Raspberry and she did a fantastic job too!Here is a picture of her waiting for her turn before the big recital. She wanted to do a pose for me so the picture is a little blurry. I think it does a good job of showing some of the things she has learned this year :-)
Here is a picture caught by a real photographer during the dress rehearsal. These pics were put up on a website so I bought this one. My little ballerina is 2nd from the end with her toe pointing out. After she saw this pic she told what move she was doing at the time and what she was supposed to do next, etc. She seems to have a really good grasp on this stuff!
And finally, part of Kathryn's dance was performed behind a raspberry bush. After the recital we could go on stage and take pictures.
They even had a raspberry bush out for us take pictures with! The set up was perfect but my little anti-picture girl would not let us take her picture peaking out from the bush. So, these are pictures of the bush and Kathryn hiding behind the bush. She thought she was pretty funny when she saw the pictures. :-)
