Samantha's Ballet Recital

This past fall Samantha took a ballet class and today was her class performance.  It was short and nothing like the showcase we've experienced in the past.  Samantha has elected not to continue at this point, which is fine.  She was told to continue the class as it was already paid for and didn't make too much of a fuss thankfully.  It was too serious for her and she was ready to try something else.  (Both girls are very excited to start gymnastics after the holidays.)

There was a delay to the start of the show.  Her instructor acknowledged Samantha directly by thanking her for keeping the rest of her class settled during the wait.  When I asked her later, Samantha told me she got everyone to play, "Duck Duck Goose" to keep kids in a circle.  Like it was typical of her to take the lead (and it is).  I know she works her tail off and I love that she steps up in chaos to do what's right.  Daddy and I are so proud of her.

She did enjoy herself and loves to perform!
