First Ballet Recital

Our girls have been taking ballet for the first time this semester. Last Saturday, November 16 was their first performance. They were both so excited to perform and both did an excellent job remembering their steps.

After ballet each week Leila would come out of class and immediately show me her new moves. Her favorites are passe and plie. She was sick the entire week leading up to the performance so we were thankful she was feeling better by Saturday and was able to give a lovely performance. 

Leila's class was first on the program. In the video Leila is the one closest to the teacher, all the way to the left side. 

Talia took ballet very seriously. She practiced at home and wanted to remember all the names of the various steps she learned. I was so proud of the way she worked hard to perfect her posture and form. I think you can tell in the video that she is concentrating hard on doing everything just right. :)

Talia's class performed immediately after Leila's class. In the video Talia is 3rd from the right. (She starts out in the back row and moves to the front after a few bars.)

Here are a few pictures of the budding ballerinas:
