Calissa stopped taking gymnastics at the beginning of the school year. She had been taking for two years, but was about to move into level 3, which was going to be on a different day, for more time and for more money. So ... we decided to try out dance. She started in January in a Jazz/Tap/Ballet combo class. For several months she was the only student in the class (which we both loved)! She was doing pretty well with the different styles. In about March or April they started working on their routine for the show the end of June. It was a tap routine to P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing). She did a great job and really shinned on stage!
Who knew how crazy it would be? We drove out to Antioch on Thursday night for the dress rehearsal. Doesn't she look cute?
It was at the El Campanil Theater in Antioch. It was fun to see the dance studio names up in lights outside!
The theme of the show was "It's a Glee Thing!"
Here is Calissa with a friend from her class before the show started.
Calissa's fan club the 1st night! Grandpa and Grandma, Dad, Conner, Parker and Me. Calissa got to watch the 1st half of the show from the audience and then I took her back stage to change during the intermission. There were 46 numbers and Calissa's routine was number 42! It was a LONG show, but I really enjoyed it. The boys enjoyed it too ... although they may not admit to that if you asked them!
Calissa and I went alone the 2nd night to her performance. She did a great job both nights! Here she is with her teacher Michelle after the show.
Her friend Kyrsten was in the show too! Calissa won a "summer scholarship" and gets to take unlimited classes this summer. She decided on Cheer Dance, Jazz/Tap/Ballet, and Hip Hop!
