Elf - Part 2

After intermission Kaiya had her tap dance.







Then changed into her lyrical dress and performed. This is her first year doing lyrical and she loves it.






Next came jazz...







Look at that attitude!





She ran off stage and had to run right back on to be a towns person. I think she forgot to take a scarf or hat or something...ha ha


She changed back into her elf costume and went out as an elf one last time.



All the Xtreme dance team kids went out and had one last dance.






And then the show was over! It really was fabulous. I am really excited to see the June show now that the December one was so good! These kids work so hard!

ADA - ELF Production - Part 1

The dance performance last month was the best one that I have been to yet! The theme was ELF. It was funny, it grabbed my attention and the kids did an outstanding job!! I can't wait to get the DVD to watch it again.
Kaiya was very busy during this performance. She had at least 8 costume changes (she isn't here so I can't check with her). Her first dance was hip hop and she absolutely rocked it!!!!! She stood out and did such a great job. It looked awesome. We ended up taping all her dances but not the hip hop one and I am still made at myself!!! She did great.






Then she changed and was party of the hip hop party crew.




Next was her Angels performance. It wasn't a dance class...but an extra part of the show.










Ella was up next!! She even had a quick costume change. Ella looked so cute in her ballet tutu. She did so good! Ella loves the stage...even at a young age. It was funny - in her ballet class she was supposed to switch from the back from the front in the middle of the song. She was standing on stage talking to someone off stage. We were wondering what the heck she was doing. Come to find out she was telling them that they were supposed to change and didn't. Ha.










She ran backstage and someone helped her change into her hip hop costume. Ella did really good! She loves hip hop...like Kaiya.


Look at those moves!




Intermission is right after the little kids go onstage so that we can go pick them up and they can watch the rest of the show from the audience.

Kaiya's next dance was ballet. Kaiya doesn't like ballet very much but she is doing really well.






She then changed into her elf costume. This was another character costume and not one of her main classes. My mom sewed and Kaiya and I designed it. I actually had what I thought it should look like in my mind and Kaiya changed it up when I wasn't there. When I first found out I doubted she knew what she was doing but she did a great job! Better than what I had thought of! Made me proud!
