One of my Favorite Weekends of the Year

 I LOVE recital weekend!  It usually lasts ALL weekend with 3-4 shows but it is SO fun!
This year Madison and her dance team did the best they have EVER done in competitions.  They got so many platinums on their dances.  The girls are just so good and entertaining!  The recital is a relaxing time for the girls to just have fun and dance!  No pressure for scores.

 Cailyn, Anna and Madison - opening number


This is her ballet dance.
This is Lyrical.


Tap costume.  It was a funky costume, but it looked great on stage and was a GREAT dance.











After the company showcase with my Meme.










Her modern dance.  It was different. No smiles.  They were like sad baby dolls...















Production number with all of the company. 
Called Sing Sing Sing.


Madi had around 7 dances and  costumes this year.  The older she gets, the easier it gets for me.  I still do most of her hair and makeup stuff, but she is finally able to do a lot on her own.  I am so thankful! 
She will be going to dance camp in about 2 weeks to prepare for the next dance year.  She has been taking it easy over the summer.  She is taking a private tumbling lesson every week for 30 minutes.  She is doing great with that, but she is very SORE.  She will go 3 nights a week for a total of 5 hours a week starting in August. It is exhausting! But that is her thing!
