Teah's Dance Recital

Great granddaughter has been dancing for several years now.

I am a terrible photographer. Great granddaughter is in the purple, second from the left.

They had recognition for 5 years of dance, so I'm guessing it is four years that Teah has been dancing. Her group is going to National competitions this year. She loves to dance however, her younger sister is backing out of dance. She has been in dance also for four years.

Lucky me, I get to attend dance recitals yearly for Teah and Julianna. Julianna's recital is in May. This one was an hour and a half from start to finish. A long time to watch my granddaughter in two dance numbers!

The recital used to have 30 dancers total for all grades and now they have closer to 90, with several dancers in line for Nationals or going to Nationals. They attribute the change to the dance instructors and the helpers. And then the other dancers, that come back to assist.

The looks on their faces as they run and jump

Their excitement will give me a lump

in my throat as I watch them dance

~

They are having so much fun as they prance

around on the stage. Everyone from one

to seniors. This was so much fun

for me to see all the smiling faces

~

The laughter that came with the little ones

was the best, as it was a thumbs

up, when they wanted nothing to do

with the dance or the show, one lost her shoe

so she sat down to put it back on

taking her time, then she was gone

right off the stage to her mother

and another walked slowly to her father.

~

I could watch dance recitals for the rest of my time

So, stay tuned for more dance recital and rhyme
