First Dance Performance!

After weeks of practice, hours of shopping for costumes, a few tears, and many words of encouragement: my dance class had their first performance! We performed for the elementary awards assembly as a dress rehearsal for our secondary assembly. I was so proud of my rhythmically challenged students :) I would have never guessed how difficult it would be for them to count and dance to a beat...but they did it! I received so many compliments about their performance. My favorite was from one of the arabic teachers (who teaches PE during my dance class)...he said, "Good job Laura. I guess you really do work when those doors are closed." This experience was a great confidence booster for so many of the girls. They are already asking me about doing a holiday piece!
