Today, pretty much all day!, we had a dress rehearsal for Jazzy's first dance recital. Jazzy will be in two dances, one tap and one sort of ballet/jazz with her swim suit on. The dance group is called Desert Stage Dance Company and they are dancing with a group of high school kids at the Vista High School in Casa Grande. The high school is more like a college campus with acres of tennis courts, swimming pools, multiple basketball courts and gymnasiums, weight rooms and entire wing and one special stage just for dancers!
All of the high school girls were screaming and clapping when Jazzy came onstage... which made her jump up and down and dance even more! It was hilarious.
After practice we had a pizza party, and all the kids made beaded necklaces and bracelets. After every class for the past 6 months, the kids got a few beads which were then kept for them in little bags. At the end of the 6 month session, they can make jewelry from the beads they earned.
