Here are the highlights from the Kids Artistic Revue yesterday...my girl was at the Baltimore Opera Lyric House from 7:45 am until 5:45 pm...she had two dances and a whole lot of waiting for awards...but in the end she'd tell you she LOVED every minute! Here she is before her 8:12 am performance. She did a routine to the song "Shake Your Tail Feathers"...it was a 2 and 1/2 minute routine and she was very excited...enjoy the pre-performance pix...
...here are some performance pix...I have tons, but I picked out my three favorites...
...kate and rachel (another dancer from her studio) both did solos in the early am and then waited until 11 am for the awards ceremony...in the first pix they are clapping for their parents and teacher...the following pictures are the two of them with their awards...kate received a first place, rachel received a top first place and a highest points medal...they were both thrilled...
...did I mention the paparazzi following kate's every move...her daddy, her brothers, her cousin francis, her auntie, her pop and granny, and jessie...and as usual...after her performance there was a trip to the "gift shop"...these companies always come with goodies...and pop-pop is a sucker for his granddaughter...
...about five hours after her first performance, her dance team performed a hip-hop routine to "Who Let the Dogs Out"...they also received a first place for their routine!...it was a great day for the studio...
...they waited until 4:45 pm for the next awards ceremony...and although she'd do it all over again...it WIPED HER OUT...she slept on the way home and slept for 11 hours last night...
...a special thanks to jessie, auntie, and granny and pop who endured the "not so fun parts" of a competition...because they were also there for TEN HOURS!!
