Ballet Recital 2011

YAY! Recital time. Mollie, who spends hours every day being a princess ballerina, fairy ballerina or just a ballerina, was finally going to get her chance to dance on stage like Angelina Ballerina. She was so excited to wear her costume and perform her two numbers to "splish splash elmo" and the "YMCA". Unfortunately, her biggest fans (me and dad) were going to be out of town for the big recital, but luckily we were able to catch the rehearsal, which from video footage, looks to have produced very similar results to the big day.

Here she is gearing up for rehearsal at home.

And practicing her moves on stage..

Mollie actually doing the moves she practices at home...And Mollie being an individual :)

Mollie was lucky enough to have a great support crowd in the audience for the big performance. The other Hanratty family ballerina, Madeline, was there to walk her in and cheer her on, as well as Aunt Kelly and Nana. Here are some pics from the recital.

The summary of the event, which will be posted on video footage, was perfect... one girl showing her sassy moves, one boy dressed as elmo, one girl screaming and 15 girls rotating between doing a couple of moves and stopping to look around, assess the situation, and stand still for a bit (Mollie was one of these). Classic first recital. Can't wait for many more!!!
