Tiny Dancer

Marien had her first dance recital and was it ever cute.  She did a ballet performance first called Marching Marigolds.  The second number was a tap to We Big Little Girls.  They sang along to the songs while they danced.  One of her parents MAY have been reduced to tears when she came out on stage.  She is so much smaller then all of her classmates.   

It is so fun to see Marien love dance so much and love performing even more.  In the last six months she has started to come out of her shell.  She is still shy but not when she is on stage!  I believe that is has given her more confidence.  The dance studio she is with is
a-ma-zing and it is my continued hope that she will stay with this program.  They play only christian music and wear appropriate customs which creates such a positive environment for these kids to grow up in.

I am going to add the video but you don't need to watch the whole thing.  It was during rehearsal and they have the wrong shoes on which really messed them up.  But you get an idea of the song and dance and how small Marien is compared to her class.  She is the cutest thing!  I love how hard she is concentrating.
