Ballet Week-Amanda rehearsal

Clytie Adams School of Ballet: It's recital week! It's pretty much everything ballet that week! Amanda's rehearsal/staging was on Monday. This is when parents can watch, take pictures and film video. None of that is allowed during the actual performance. Our first recital experience with the 'rules' seemed pretty strict, but now we understand that it makes a much nicer experience as we watch our beautiful ballet girls. Amanda's jazz performance was a 'yell for your dancer, whoop and holler, and take pictures' and it was harder to enjoy.....
Anyway, this year's recital theme was Fairytales and Folklore. There were original songs written for the dances and we also had our live orchestra again!
Amanda's dance was the very last during the performance. She was a Fairy in Sleeping Beauty. (She is right side of 2 dancers up front)...
Here is Amanda's group getting instruction from their teacher, Sarah (in white t-shirt). Sarah is Clytie's daughter and is taking over the studio. She is AWESOME! Both girls have had the opportunity to be in her class and they love Sarah!
Although out of focus, I like these pictures :) Kind of fairyish


Beautiful dance! It was so fun to watch what a beautiful dancer Amanda has become!
