Bailey's Tap Recital

We just got home from Bailey's first tap recital. She had a ballet recital back in December but this was her first tap recital. It was pretty adorable. After her recital in December, Bailey got a new teacher. The adjustment went pretty well and the class size shrunk by more than half when we went back to class after Christmas. So we got a little more one-on-one time with the new teacher.

We practiced with our DVD at home and we were both pretty sick of this song by the time the recital came around. But the time came and Bailey rocked it.  

I just love this little girl and all her sass. 

Tap is not Bailey's favorite, she prefers ballet. But she learned the dance and I'm proud of her for that. It wasn't easy. She is the youngest in her class and she doesn't always remember how to focus. She's an easily distracted three year old but she did great. 

Although this was the money shot for the night. I took this at her dress rehearsal and it cracks me up.  She dropped her pom pom on the ground and turned around to pick it up. I love this so much. 

Nothing really funny happened at the actual recital, but this cracked me up. 

Another funny moment during the dress rehearsal happened when these two cuties bumped bottoms when they were doing their backwards hops. The other little girl was hopping the wrong direction and her and Bailey bumped. It was pretty cute though. 

This is the magical moment when all three girls were on the same move and the same time. 

Their favorite part is the hopping around at the end.  pretty cute stuff. 

And the ending bow. 

Then at the end all the dancers  performed a finale number together 

There were so many dancers. It was a very long rehearsal. 

Daddy was gone this weekend for drill so I got to spend a lot of time with this sweet and sassy girl. 

The recital went so great. The girls were focused  and they did so great together. 

Bailey definitely earned herself a bouquet of flowers. She was pretty thrilled with herself. 

This girl totally rocked her recital and we are so happy to have a break from dance for the summer. She earned it!
