dancing concert - tick

It feels great to get things done early.  I am one of those people who never asked for an assignment extension, and mostly always have materials prepared a good week before they are due.  Some would say I am a girly swot.

So when our dancing teacher decided to have the dancing concert this year 6 months earlier than normal - it appealed greatly to my sense of organisation.  She decided to do this so as to not conflict with the ballet exams at the end of the year.  Hence a ballet concert in June!

We were at a new venue - Gateway Baptist - and it was great.  Lighting and everything!  The girls looked beautiful and danced wonderfully.  Many proud mummy moments.  Even when I could tell Gab was a bit nervous she pushed through and remembered her steps.  And Annika lights up like a spotlight on stage.  She loves it.  Each year they get better and better.  It is wonderful to watch them blossom and grow into who they are.
