And So It Begins

The reaction she gave when I told her she "shook it up" while on stage!
One of the practices when they actually used a stage instead of the studio. This costume is their production number called "Bathtime". Notice the bathtubs in the back!

Claire is on the competitive dance company this year at her studio. This was very exciting for both of us, and we were looking forward to the competitions and dancing. Since Christmas, practices have been every weekend, and at least one extra day a week besides class night in preparation for competition. We head to Tulsa next Friday, to dance all day Saturday. Claire's duet will debut as the first dance of the day, and then the production number and her group number will be later. Claire is giddy with excitement; she is loving the costumes and makeup prep, and even enjoying all the extra practice. Only time will tell if dancing is something we do every year, but as of right now, I am relishing each smile, every hip-shake and the immense pride I feel as she's walking on and off stage. That's my baby girl doin' her thang!!!
