Studio One's Henderson Dance Academy {Recital 2014}

 06.13.14

Chloe and Aubrey had their dance recital. Chloe had 4 numbers and Aubrey had one. So much fun to watch my girls dance! I am so proud of how much they both have progressed!

Chloe's favorite is ballet and you can totally tell, she is just so happy while she is dancing.

 Chloe was so happy to have Ms. Ann for ballet again. For her ballet she danced to "A Wink and a Smile" from Sleepless in Seattle.

 And lucky for Chloe she got to have her favorite Ms. Britney for her other 3 numbers.

She did her 2 competition numbers that she has been doing for all her competitions,  "Born to be Wild" for jazz and "Wild, Wild West" for tap. She also had another tap number to "You Can Never Tell" from 

Pulp Fiction.

 My Aubrey danced to "Almost There" from Princess and the Frog.

Showcase 2013 {"Dance from your Heart"}

 07.21.13

This was Aubrey's first dance recital and Chloe's sixth recital. I was so proud of both of them. They both danced great. I knew Chloe would, we have watched her perform at all her competitions, but Aubrey was another story. She LOVES dance class but because of her personality I was going to be happy if she even went on the stage. But she did so awesome!! I tried to get a picture of her with her teacher, Ms. Kayla, but her difficult side came out and she wasn't having it! Chloe only had 2 teachers this year. Ms. Britney for jazz, tap, and team and Ms. Marissa for ballet. Chloe absolutely LOVES Ms. Britney so I am glad she will still get to have her over at the new studio. It was an emotional day as this will be the last recital at Dance Fusion. Change is hard, but we are excited for new dance opportunities. Not so much the farther drive though;(

With Lucy, Makaylin, Jordyn, Maile, Becca, and Lexi all in the recital too we had so many family and friends there. My girls loved it! Grandma, Jenny, Katie, Amber, Josh, Everett, Jordan, Amber, Mavrik, Grandpa Victor, Grandma Karen, Joey, Granny, Grandma Kaye, Jeremy, Mical, Ben, Hailey, Will, and Juli.

Chloe, Katie and I went to the 2nd show. It was fun to see all the dances and the main reason for going was to see the Dance Fusion Alumni and teachers dance. It was so fun!! They did great!!
