Ballet Performance

Abby just completed her first ballet performance.  The studio does a big (BIG) production every other year with all the dancers.  The younger girls only have to learn one dance, but the older girls learn multiple dances with different themes.

This year, the production included Portraits of West Side Story, The Taming of the Shrew, Jazz Medley, and Seasons in Ohio.  Abby’s class did Spring in the Seasons Dance.

She had one night of dress rehearsal and three performance nights.  We had fun, but we are glad that it is done!
