Emily and Reagan danced together again this year at January's. They did a ballet/tap class again with Ms. Jaime. The class was a lot smaller this year - down to just about 8 kids. They did a cute number with a kind of 1950's theme mostly centered on the one little boy in the class. I was disappointed that this year's costume was so similar to last years. This year was blue with black and white polka dots and last year's was black and white polka dots with hot pink. Very similar.

The steps in this year's routine were much easier which meant that we did not have to do dance boot camp two nights a week at our house practicing to a video shot with my phone during class. That was nice. It also meant that the kids seemed to enjoy it a little more. Emily even smiled a REAL smile during the show! Glad I had the camera ready!
After the show Emily got flowers, a treat bag and her very first "twirl dress" (like Abby's). And of course we celebrated with cake too!
As a post-script to this post, Emily did not want to sign up for dance again this fall. So sign-ups came and went a few weeks ago without my favorite little dancer on the roster. Reagan has moved on to a new studio. So I guess that is the end of the Emily/Reagan dance years. Sigh... Emily has decided to focus her efforts on gymnastics, Wednesday evening church and possibly swimming lessons in the fall. And so begins a new era... Wonder what this year will bring?
