Dancers in Daylight

Since Ballet IV takes twice/week, we used their Thursday class to take outdoor photos! It was great incentive for quick warm-ups and good, clean run-throughs of their dances.

It was so much fun! I love these girls - it's so rewarding to be a teacher!

Ballet Portraits 2012

I've edited and uploaded so many photos today, but all the girls are so beautiful, it was a pleasure. My eyes are hurting, but it's good to have them done. Now for our final day of pictures tomorrow!

Different class sisters

This family gets the distinction of having 4 daughters each in a different class!

Dads and Daughters Dancing!

 It's a beautiful thing when a father dances with his daughter

 She feels like a princess...

 He feels like a man most blessed.

 

 They make fun memories...

That will last a lifetime!

Miss Anna

Dancing with this big chiffon fabric this year, to "God of My Everything" by Bebo Norman.

It's pretty, but hard to control at times. If I just don't end up getting tangled in it during my solo, and don't fall on my face, I'll be happy. :)

Portraits 2012 - sneak peak

 There's nothing quite like the cuteness of a tiny ballerina!

 Three sisters, starting dance together!

More sisters - personalities come out in what colors they choose (when they have a color choice!)

It's hard to get 11 girls ages 5 & 6 to look the same way and smile together! But these girls were very sweet, and pretty patient and complying. We got a pretty good shot.

More pictures coming in the week ahead... after a long day of picture taking, I'm off to play a game and relax with family!

Practicing in class

Wee 1 tiptoes in a circle with their left hand in - they're remembering their directions well now!

Basic 2 shows their tendu devant

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!
