Dance cutie

Ashley is loving her dance classes.

She is so excited for their first performance at the State fair in a few weeks.
She has been working hard on her flexibility and splits by stretching every day.
She is soooo close!
We had a little hair & makeup demo at the studio after class this day --
Ash was really excited to try out this really red lipstick that they get to wear on stage. :)
Wowie!

Ashley's Dance Recital

"You can dance, you can Jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh see that girl, watch that scene
Diggin' the dancing queen..."

Ashley performed in two numbers at her dance recital this summer: A fun jazz routine to a remix of "My Boyfriend's Back" and a beautiful ballet routine to "Hallelujah". She did a great job and I even got teary-eyed watching her ballet. I had not seen it before because she wanted to surprise me. She loves to dance and was invited to be a part of the "Stars" performing group at her studio this year. They will dance for a few high school basketball game half-time shows, the AZ State Fair, a Christmas parade, the Ostrich Festival, a Phoenix Suns game, and Disneyland!

Here are a few pics I took of her in her costumes :)
