Ballet Beauty

The end of the ballet season was Saturday. Molly was so excited to dance and was not too shy on stage. It has to be overwhelming to see all of those bright lights and all of those people. It is so fun to see all of the girls dancing. My favorite part of the show (other than Molly of course) was the first performance of a special needs class. It was so sweet to see the excitement on those girls' faces. One girl even danced in a wheelchair. It filled my heart with joy to see such joy and determination. What a way to start the show. Each class does two dances, one ballet and the other tap. This is the second show of the season and the first time around I was frustrated trying to video and watch and take pictures (Jeff had a game that day). This time I decided (and my camera's dead batteries decided for me) to just watch and enjoy. Sometimes I feel like I get caught up trying to capture the moment, I don't enjoy the moment like I should. So this time I just enjoyed. Jeff did the video and we got a few pictures. They were so cute dancing in their princess costumes and monkey costumes, dancing to "Hey,Hey We're The Monkeys", by The Monkees. The music for the whole performance was great!
