(Sunday Snapshot) - Spring Recital

Recital-2

"To touch, to move, to inspire.
This is the true gift of dance."
 
~ Aubrey Lynch
 
Recital-3

8 months of hard work, practice, practice and more practice to be ready for their Spring Recital.


Recital-4

Every year is different but to me it's always magical
and full of joy and pageantry.
I love every single thing about this little dance community
and school.


Spring Recital 2013 Storyboard


At each Spring recital I'm taken back to when I first met
my two youngest children, and can't help but think of how many obstacles they've overcome.
What never changes is how proud and honored I am to be their Mom.

Grace plans to dance next year, Will is not so sure,
maybe try karate? (that's what he tells me). ;)

Like I mentioned earlier in the week, these photos are just spectacular Gail. So happy you were backstage to capture those special moments that happen behind the scenes.

Hope you're having a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.

Always so beautiful! And how special that you get to spend time backstage to capture those intimate moments. Even if Will doesn't dance with the studio, I'm sure he will continue to dance and entertain at home!

Were thinking of trying an adaptive dance class for Libbie. She is dying to dance like her friends! Her therapist at Shriners is an instructor at a special needs dance company... I think it might work for us! I love everything about recitals too. Truly magical!
