Dance recital

Maya had her first dance recital this afternoon. We know that we are biased, but we both think she did wonderfully! She watched all the other dances attentively, seemed to really enjoy herself, and didn't seem nervous at all.



She and her best friend Mae danced 3 numbers (with a costume change at intermission).

In this first dance, she and Mae are princesses that are supposed to wake up the sleeping flowers. The laughter at the beginning is due to Maya yelling, "Mae, you didn't come out of the castle. You stayed in the castle, Mae" as Mae apparently missed her cue coming out of the castle. Unfortunately, my phone didn't pick up that detail (and my apologies for the poor quality of the video.)



In the second video, the girls have no idea that they are supposed to be facing the audience. Oh well. And in the last one, Maya is on the left, Mae is on the right.

We are very proud parents today.

This is the most adorable video I've ever seen. Maya is a natural dancer - I felt like I was there - especially having seen the rehersal. What a wonderful start to her dancing career.

Thanks so much for sharing.
