First up....
3 year old Clara.... May '05


Clara with her roses....


4 years old.... May '06
Still in Texas but at a new studio due to the previous one relocating further away from our house.


They did their tap dance to Be Our Guest...


5 years old.... May '07
We made the move to Chicago mid-year so we rushed to find her a dance studio so she would be able to be in a spring recital (this was big because her studio in Texas was already ordering costumes and she was really sad about moving and missing the recital with her friends).




6 years old.... May '08
Yet another dance studio. This time we made the move because this one was within walking distance from our house. She was in four pieces.... two ballet, one character and one jazz. I only took photos of two costumes.
Character...



7 years old... May '09
New dance school again. This move prompted by the chaos of the last place. It had been a mess all year but the recital was probably the final straw. It really is sad when I (who LOVES to take photos) couldn't even bring myself to take photos at the recital.
So, we made a change, trying out two new dance schools in the fall of '08... she dearly loves them both and she's still dancing at both places. One place does not have recitals, so her recital photos are just from one school.




I didn't add this year's photos to this post just because they're in the post right below. We love both places she dances at right now... we have no plans to change again... however, at some point she will probably have to choose just one of them. Until that day.... she'll continue to do both!
AWWWWW! How cute!!
ReplyDeleteCould that child be any cuter? Those are just so precious. The girls oohed and aahed over all of her pictures, then concluded by saying "she's so adorable, and she hasn't changed a bit!"
ReplyDeletewhat a nice review in pictures. She's growing up to be such a lovely young girl.
