It was Callie's big night! She had been practicing all semester with her dance company. She had to perform two dance routines and she was slightly nervous. However, she didn't have too much time to think about it, because I had to spend half the day prepping her hair for the performance.
She looked lovely...
And we were proud parents!!!
After the mandatory pictures with your parents before you go to any special event were taken it was time to go. We collected all her things (after checking and re-checking that we had them all).
The performance was at Lowe Mill, which on a Friday night was magical. After taking her to the dance company, Marcus and I had two hours to look around and eat. We found one of our favorite food trucks, I Love Bacon, and ate while listening to some folk-jug-band music. With still time to spare we decided to look at the local artists inside the building.
It was like we had a date night!
But soon enough it was time to watch Callie. Her first dance was to Journey's "Lights". It was from her Lyrical class. Sadly, she was on the opposite side of the stage so I couldn't take as many pictures as I would have liked. But I did get a few...
We sat through many performances, but were excited when it was time for her second dance. The jazz dance was to the song "Fame" and this time she was on our side...
Time to throw the hat...
and dance like you mean it...
At the end of the performance they handed out trophies, and she was so happy. I cannot say how proud I was of her. Her naturally shy temperament seemed to disappear while she danced tonight. And she danced her heart out!
