My last dance recital....

for at least another 5 years. The dance instructor of my youth, 'Miss Carla', had her 25th anniversary dance recital this past weekend. She has begun a tradition of bringing back old dancers to perform in the milestone dance recitals. This time, I actually participated. The 'alum' group had rehearsal Friday afternoon at 5, Saturday morning at 8:30, then performed Saturday night! Miss Carla chose the aptly named "Everything Old Is New Again" for our dance. And, although most of us have gotten 'wider and wiser' and didn't have quite the technique we used to possess, this was a very fun experience. Kim Dean (and many others!) getting shushed in the dance studio for talking and giggling really brought back memories! I have never been a great dancer, but I have always loved it, and I am very thankful to have had this opportunity to perform in that spotlight once more! Anna and I immediately after our performance. (Yes, I had another 'I'm unable to apply sunscreen thoroughly' incident) The presentation of the past dancers. Can you pick me out? Here I am. I need to work on my posture! (I blame my computer) Can I please have Miss Carla's legs (she's in the pink). Who doesn't love a kick line? I'm working on the video...


* a special thanks to Kent and Corinne for driving all the way to Cleveland to watch the show, and to Daniel for yelling at me from the balcony of the BPAC. :)
