Spring Ballet "Show Off"

Olivia started taking ballet lessons this year at a new studio and they only have a big recital every other year (so genius!).  This was an "off" year, so instead of a recital, they did a "showcase" one Sunday afternoon on the various skills they've learned over the year.

Olivia's little friend Sarah couldn't be more different than her in terms of performing.  Sarah stole the show with her smile and waves.  Miss O on the other hand took the whole thing very seriously and didn't wave to us once and, per usual, the suppressed smile was the most we got.  I've said it before, but its such a stark contrast to how lovey and attached to us she usually is, that we still marvel at this "serious Olivia".....But of course, we LOVE it! 

Plies at the bar

 Arms out...

Releve

Sashay across the floor

Little jumps

And, they ended with some stretching - showing us how ballerinas sit up nice and tall ("ballerinas are never lazy" claims Olivia)

Proud of our tiny dancer.
