Let It Rock! Rheya's Spring 2010 Dance Recital

WOW!!! What a busy weekend I had with my little girl!! This weekend was Rheya's Spring Dance Recital. I was a volunteer on Friday evening for the dress rehearsal and it is amazing how much work goes on behind the scenes to make the show a success!! And let me tell you what, it was a HUGE SUCCESS!!! All of the dancers from Kaleidoscope Dance Company did a wonderful job. I am so proud of my little girl and so happy that she is apart of such a wonderful dance studio with such amazing, talented teachers and dancers!

Rheya's class (the 5&6 year olds) did 3 dances this year and of course they came back out for the Finale. Rheya and her class first danced a jazz/hip-hop routine to a song called "Lipgloss" which was just too cute!! Below is a picture of her in her "Lipgloss" costume...




Second, they danced a tap routine to "Spoon Full of Sugar" from Mary Poppins. It was also adorable!!

Last, was their ballet routine to "If You Believe" from Ella Enchanted. This one brought tears to my eyes. It was so beautiful and the music was perfect for their age group!! Below is Rheya's professional dance photo in her tap and ballet costume and also her professional group photo of her class.

It is truly a blessing to watch my little girl go out on stage and perform without fear at such a young age! She amazes me with her talent and grace at just 5 years old. :o) I am so very proud of her.

Back in January of this year, she competed at Seton High School's Dance Competition and won first place with her best friend Brookelynn in the Tiny Division for Tiny Ensemble. Below is a couple of pictures from the competition of her and Brookelynn.



Dance is such a wonderful part of Rheya's life. Not only is it fun, but it is good exercise and teaches her valuable lessons that will benefit her throughout her life.
