Revue 2012

What a night!  It feels like we've been preparing for this revue forever!  Being a rookie dance mom, I was pretty much a nervous wreck.  I was so scared I was going to forget something important.  Thankfully, I had the most amazing babysitter to keep the girls in the dressing room.  She danced for years and years, so she knew what was going on much more than I did...and I was able to sit in the audience and enjoy the show...twice!  This is a serious studio the girls go to.  I need to go back and count how many practices Richard and my dad attended, there was a technical rehearsal Friday morning, a dress rehearsal Friday night and the Revue on Saturday night.  I'm exhausted!!

I did video the dances but the studio made everyone sign papers saying we wouldn't upload video anywhere :(  It has something to do with copyright stuff.  I hate that because I know you would love it!  Gracie pretty much stole the show (which was expected).  There were roars of laughter with each new move she did.  Half of the daddy dance, she was doing Richard's moves instead of her own.  Super cute and she has no idea everyone is looking at her.  She's just out there having fun.  Wesleigh was having her own kind of fun.  Smiling as big as she could and trying so hard to do each move the right way :)  She would look over at Gracie every once in a while and get totally screwed up because Gracie was rarely doing what she was supposed to be doing :)  Gracie knows the moves, she's just always about 3 steps ahead of the music...or anyone else for that matter.

Here are some pics!  There are lots...how can I not post them all??  lol...

Their first dance was tap. They danced to the song "On How To Be Lovely". I think these were my favorite costumes of the night :)
 


Then the daddy dance...The dads were Indiana Jones and the girls were Egyptian princesses. These costumes were alot of fun because they got to dress up like Jasmine. I think you might be seeing these costumes reappear in October :)

 The girls had a solo dance in the middle to the song "Walk Like an Egyptian". SO funny!!

Do you see the other little girls?  Do you see Gracie?  Which one of these is not like the others?  lol...Gracie thought the dad's part was much more exciting than hers!

Eventually, the Egyptian princesses are carried off by their princes :)


There was a video montage at the end. The girls were brought in to do an interview and they made the video! There were clips of them dancing, blowing kisses to the crowd. SO cute!!! I know I'm biased but I'm pretty sure they were crowd favorites :) They were beyond excited to get lots of flowers after the show.






My amazing sitters! Kristen is the blonde. Amanda is Richard's sister. She was able to stay in the back to help Sat. night too!



For this baseball mom, I had alot more fun with dance this year than I expected.  It truly is a whole new world for me...and I love it!!!
