Dance Recital

Lily and Eden's dancing teacher decided to hold their annual dance recital at the Hastings Opera House this year. The girls were very lucky to dance on such an amazing stage!

Hair done, ready for make-up All the little Highland girls

Walking off after their fling, the second dance of the show

Eden changed into her tutu side stage as the fourth dance was the pre-school ballet. Only three littlies made it to the recital, and did such a cute performance

Then Lily had her modern dance (but the photos weren't that flash). I had 5 out of the first 6 dances! Things got a bit less hectic after that!

Ready for their pas de basques and high cuts

Mid pas de basque

Mid high cut - Lily and Eden back middle (even though they all started in a straight line!)

Walking off stage

Now the 5 year olds ready for their ballet

A smile from Lily

A few pirouettes

After the intermission, ready for the reel...

Spot the two little ones!

Then a side stage change and the 5 year olds helped the pre-schoolers with their Bob the Builder dance...Lily in middle, Eden on right in purple

From what I've heard, this was the dance of the night! Imagine highland feet and poi hands...sounds difficult and looked amazing! Truly amazing girls! I hope they get a chance to do that one in Scotland!! Here's Lily and co getting their applause...

And the little girls back in the tutus, taking it all in - it was Ana's first recital. Eden loves the finale! Maybe it's the Abba song!

A couple of audience members on the bus heading home...big thanks to Simon and Donna Keir from Plumbing Place who sponsored the bus. Mum appreciated not driving and Lachie thought it was very exciting!

One tired little ballerina!
