First ever dance recital...

To all my friends and family....You are invited to my girls first ever dance recital! It is exciting to us BC my girls have never done anything other than gymnastics really. One time Eve played T-ball when she was 4 and 5. She was actually REALLY good at it! When she would get up to bat the other coaches would tell their team to move back, lol. She could nail that ball! She was a pretty good fielder too, when she wasn't doing cartwheels. Her daddy really wants her to play softball but she just doesn't want to give up gymnastics to do so. Then she played soccer one season. She gave that up after one season when she got whammed in the face and knocked over with the ball from a "9 year old". She was 5. Jasy has never done anything other than gymnastics. I started them both at it when they were 2, Jasy was 2 1/2 when she got to start. I think that Jasy would be a wham up soccer player BC that girl has some skill kicking, and dribbling balls but she doesn't want to play. When I came up with the idea of them doing ballet for a year to see if they liked it, they both were up for it and super excited! Jasy fell in love with it for a good two months and did it all the time! She is really good at it! She follows instructions really well, has learned all the positions taught, and looks absolutely adorable spinning around in her little tu -tus!! Does a Mama good! Eve had to do a combo class where they teach them half ballet and half jazz. She also had to start in a advanced class BC it's the only class time that would fit her 14 1/2 hour gymnastics training schedule. I was a little worried, well a lot worried about the jazz aspect and her catching on. Not as much with the ballet BC with gymnastics she already incorporates a lot of the ballet into her routines so she should be comfortable there. Her teacher assured me that she would catch on fast with her training background. For the most part she has. I do have to say that her ballet is GORGEOUS!!!! She has those long lines, and her gymnastics has really paid off there! Her jazz is another story. She is so used to being taught to be "tight" in gymnastics that she can't loosen up enough in her jazz. Don't get me wrong, she has the steps down, she has the beat down, but the "form" is just not there. She is so tight that if you went up to her and tried to knock her over she would not even budge lol. I guess if she decides to do cheer leading one day she will have that tightness that they need. So... we are super excited to watch our sweet little ones dance for a change. However, when I asked them if they wanted to continue with dance or gymnastics (it's just too much doing both) they both chose gymnastics hands down. Not that I don't love gymnastics, BC I do! But it has been nice having that little change for this year. So... now you understand why this recital is so important to us this year. It will probably be our last. :(
