Amelia's First Ballet Performance

Tonight was a very special night. Amelia has been in a ballet class for a couple of months at a wonderful studio near us. She loves it with all her heart! The studio put on a performance of Sleeping Beauty, and Amelia got to be a forest fairy. The costumes were unbelievable- better than anything even a fancy-five-year-old could dream up. Amelia did a great job. She has been practicing very hard at home and it paid off! We are so proud of her! We weren't permitted to take photos at the performance, but I was a chaperon for Amelia's age group, so I took photos at the dress rehearsal she had this morning.

Playing in the dressing room waiting for her turn to go onstage.

Getting ready for the curtain to open. She got to hold some lovely flowers for her dance.
Looking beautiful!

No photos?! I'm crushed! She looks so beautiful! Can you video her doing her dance at home and post it?
