Avery's 1st Dance Recital

Avery had her big tap dance recital on Saturday night. We had the rehearsal that morning (that was the only video I got - She actually did much better during the night time performance but am waiting on the professional video for that one). She was pretty nervous but tried to be brave and ended up having a lot of fun running through the routine, dancing with her friends while the other performances rehearsed and at the end they practiced saying their name in the microphone. 

For the evening performance she LOVED the hair gel and make up we got to use to get ready for the show. The six little 3 years olds did great staying busy back stage (movies, coloring, dancing to frozen, eating non-messy snacks). The crowd adored them and they got so many cheers and laughs. One girl next to Avery danced out of her shoe and the other one had her hair bow fall out and she spent the last half of the dance standing on the stage crying. But Avery danced right through and did the routine the best I have ever seen her do it! And then she started consoling the crying girl as they walked off stage.

After the show she got flowers from Uncle Cullen and after the family pics we ended the night with ice cream. We asked her if she wanted to do it again next year and she said "maybe" so we'll see what she decides. But it's been such  a great experience for her and G to have their Wednesday dance nights together and she got to learn some new moves. It was a LONG concert but worth it to see her up on the stage doing her thing.
