End of School Bonanza

I have mentioned before a time or ten that Callie's teacher was rather fond of productions. She took up a collection and hired a special teacher to come weekly and teach the kids all sorts of songs and dances. I guess it was the equivalent of signing her up for a dance class. What we experienced through the year was nothing short of amazing to this Momma! Callie went from being super shy, wide eyed, unhappy on stage to a little girl who now puts on shows for us weekly. She practices, makes tickets, and talks about it constantly. It has been an interesting thing to watch.

Anyhow, her end of the year performance was fantastic. They got permission to use the small city theatre (Hello, air conditioning, nice to meet you! Can we be friends and you can come and live at my house?) which is really nice. The production was a bit more streamlined and had a very few glitches. It was only 1 1/2 hours long and Callie would love to show you her video of it (they even had a video system!!) any time you are free and feeling patient!!

Here are a few of my favorite pictures:












A few of the songs were in English and the teacher would give Callie the microphone during those. It was like she had her own concert with a lot of little backup dancers! So cute!

Here are a few snippits of my video. Can I just tell you that my girl can move! She knows how to shake it!
