Today Natalie had her second dance recital since starting at Loudoun School of Ballet. Last June Natalie participated in the Ballet 1 class with her friend Carson; this fall semester she took the Ballet/Jazz combo class, again with Carson but this time with their friend Emerson also joining them. The best part of the combo class is that the girls got to do two performances, one dance for ballet and one for jazz. Just like last year, photos and video aren't permitted at the actual recital, so all of my photos and video were taken yesterday at the dress rehearsal. I took a LOT of photos, so will try to find my favorites so as not to post too many...but since no family could attend, I know the grandparents will want to see as many as I'm willing to post :)
They started with their jazz number, as that was the first one in the show. How cute are those outfits and hats?! In case you can't spot her, Natalie is in the back row, far right (kind of in the shadows). She comes up to the front in the second photo.
Natalie and her friend Carson end the jazz routine at one end of the row; here they are taking bows together.
And leading everyone, skipping off the stage.
Then, ballet! The girls removed their hats and sparkly gloves, and added their tutus. I went down towards the front to get some closer-up shots.
Natalie ends the ballet performance on stage right (left to us watching); she's three back in the row.
I do have videos (not to worry, grandparents!); I will try to post them tomorrow as they are still uploading now.
The class then posed on stage so that the hired photographer could get some posed photos. We were all allowed to then take some too, but still from the side, sadly.
Afterwards I took Natalie, Carson, and Emerson out into a beautifully lit hallway at the school to take some photos.

Love these girls!
