Showcase Dance Recital

Last Friday night was the girls' dance recital. Here they are all dressed and ready to go. The theme of the recital was "Movie Plex," and all their music came from movie soundtracks.


Both of the girls had such a fun year of dancing, it was Alyssa's first year, and Emma's second year at Showcase Dance.


Both the tap and ballet routines for Kahiwa's class had a few little jumps in them. They were of course, her favorite parts of the routines.


Alyssa's favorite part of her tap routine was a circle walk where the entire class circles the stage to end up at their original positions. The fun part was keeping all the shuffle steps synchronized :) She loved it! Their tap song was "Cruel to be Kind."


This is Em's whole class, skipping on for the beginning of their ballet number. I love how you can see how excited she and the other little girl in the middle are as they smile at each other to start the routine. Their ballet song was "Stuck in the Middle With You."


Ready for tap.


Marching...Marching


Their tap number. Their tap song was "Day O." Just a little side note that I thought was cute and funny: the day of their dress rehearsal, the young ones came out on the stage, and I'm sure the huge stage felt way too big for these four tiny girls. They seemed pretty nervous as they did the entire tap number so close together on the stage that their fluffy pink tutus kept bouncing off each other. It looked very awkward but sweet at the same time. I can laugh about it now because the actual performance went perfectly.

She had a huge smile on her face the whole program, she loves to perform.


The finale. The teacher on the left is the owner of the dance studio and Emma's teacher last year. The teacher on the right was both A and E's teacher this year, Miss Sarah.

A and E with their flowers we gave them. Sorry it's blurry, I forgot I still had the camera on the taking pics from far away setting.


The flowers after we put them in a vase. The red roses were for Ka'iulani, the yellow for Kahiwa.
