Christmas Dance Session

Although Danica dances for us most mornings before boarding the bus, we only see her in an official display twice a year. One viewing occurs at the year-end in May at a big performance. The other occurs just before Christmas when the parents and grandparents are invited into the studio to observe a somewhat normal session. Yeah sure.

Otherwise, we are not permitted a peek, so it's nice to get this wee glimpse. Since she is enrolled in two classes, we got two viewings. The first class was Highland and the second Jazz and Tap although you can't tell from these pictures which is which. I took some video footage, and maybe I'll do something with it at some point.

The proof is in the photos. Danica was a tad excited about the opportunity to show off. But just a mere tad, mind you.

This was just about my first photo of the day as she pranced by our seats. The picture
does not lie. She was higher than a kite.

Dancers must warm up and stretch before performing.

They were dancing to Santa Claus in Coming to Town and were at the "naughty or nice, bad or good" part.

About to do a solo run in Jazz/Tap. Although she is normally a bit of a wallflower, she overcame her reluctance.

And there she goes ... with gusto.

We are still trying to figure out where this kid came from and are having absolutely no success. She's like nobody any of us have seen or known before.
