Dress Rehearsal and Dance Recital

Olivia had her first dance recital on Dec 18th.  She did a great job and we are so proud of her!  She danced to Suzy Snowflake.  We weren't sure if she would dance on stage or not, she had a history of stage fright every time parents came into the studio to watch her, so we didn't know what would happen on a big stage with a huge audience of people watching her.  Much to our surprise she danced.  Here are some pictures from dress rehearsal.  We weren't allowed to take any pictures during the actual show but, luckily the dress rehearsal was so entertaining that we didn't care that we couldn't video the actual show.
Shutterfly Shared Picture this link will take you to pictures that Bella's Daddy took.  Olivia was in front of Bella so she is in every picture.  They are kind of repetitive because they went through the routine 4 times.  It wasn't until the last run that Olivia did every step.  I don't have a video to show you but Olivia insisted on breaking up the circle in the last run because she wanted to hold Bella's hand not the girls next to her.  Unfortunately Bella didn't want her to hold her hand so they were struggling with each other.  Bella says "we was fightin"  It was the funniest thing ever.  At the actual show she didn't try to get Bella's hand but it would have been the funniest part of the show if she had.
