More t-shirt fun

An arabesque rainbow

The camera settings were off for this picture, but it still shows this sweet, large class of 5-6 y/o's!

Ballet friends!

Showing off the back!

"Unchanging" flyer

What color is God?

Usually I pick a theme color for a production, but since this one is about God, I decided He was ALL colors, so we'll have a rainbow-theme!

"Unchanging" t-shirts

An amazing mom designed a t-shirt for us this year! Proceeds from them went towards the ballet roll-out floor I bought last fall.

The front has our name, plus a silhouette a dad made from a picture of me a few years ago. It's fun to now see it on a t-shirt!

The design is perfect - the back has words from the songs we're dancing to this year, each describing God.

The girls were so excited to get them, so I let them wear them in class, this week only! :)

Ballet III shows off the front and back of their shirts. Can you tell most of them had the favorite color of blue? ;)

"Unchanging" costumes

Costumes are arriving, causing great excitement! Below are pictures from Thursday's classes. One more company needs to ship theirs to me (so the final 3 classes can get theirs) then we'll be all ready for pictures and presentations!

Ballet IV has a "poofy" costume this year, but it is so pretty and very modest - all it needed was a slip.

Beautiful young ladies, inside and out!

Ballet I/A has a sweet, flowy costume, and to their delight, it's not scratchy!

Fun Ballet Attire (Thursday)

Ballet IV

Ballet I/A with Miss Rachael - overlays were definitely the theme. :)

Ballet III - Funny things was, during barre ,the 3 girls wearing the same costume were on the same barre, the 3 wearing pink/purple combinations were together at the same barre, and the 2 wearing the same skirts were together. :)

Fun Ballet Attire (Monday & Tuesday)

This week is Fun Ballet Attire week! With Valentine's Day being on Tuesday, a lot of pink and red showed up. :) Everyone was very creative!

Wee 3 (missing two girls) with Miss LeAnn

Basic 1 with Miss Jubilee

Wee 2 with Miss Anna

Ballet I/B (missing one)

Ballet II (missing one)

Basic 2 (missing two) with Miss Natalie

Wee 1 with Miss Miriam and Miss Anna

They kept wanting to do their own pose instead of standing in neat rows, so I finally let them. :) This picture always shows why I don't let them dress up every week - they're much more distracted with looking at themselves!

Ballet IV - splashes of color!

Songs for "Unchanging"

While my KingsPrasieBallet.com website editor is down, I'm posting the list of songs included in "Unchanging."

It's recommended that you buy the song for your student's class, so that they can practice at home. It will really make a difference, since we only have class once/week, and practicing at home causes them to work hard to remember the dance.

Even better, videotape them doing the dance during Parent Observation Day (March 12-15), and that way you'll have the song according to how I cut it, along with the movements to practice with!

Click the links to download them for around $1 at Amazon.com, or look them up on your favorite music supplier.
