Dance Like There's No Tomorrow was the theme of the recital tonight. Everything went great. It was held at the local high school, Timber Creek H.S., and the girls felt like celebrities up on the big stage. I abused my privileges a little and when I got there early I reserved the very front and center seats for Matt, Luke, and my neighbors Liz, Nicholas and Brooke. :) There were only 4 seats there so I even pulled up an extra chair :) Gavin was home with a babysitter.
Emma's dance stole the show. They were so cute out there and the audience laughed and applauded at their cute hip shakes, kick line, and the way they exited the stage in a line holding on to the girl in front of them and then they shuffled backwards while waving. Very cute!
All my dance classes did great. I taught 5 classes this year. I felt so bad for one little girl because she had 102 degree fever the night before and threw up all night and so she was unable to perform in 2 of my numbers! Poor thing! All that work all year and purchasing 2 costumes and you never get to use them!
At the end of the show all the girls get to come out from backstage and sit in the front below the stage and they get to watch the teachers number. It is so fun to have all the girls there yelling for you! It was a great night. AND Matt remembered flowers! :) Afterward we went out to eat with our friends the Lopez family, their little girl Kennedy was also in the recital (you can see pictures of her in Amy's blog. Carver, Luke's little friend and Emma's future husband, said Emma's dance was called "Baby Legs". :)

Watch Emma's Dance Video
They had all kinds of crafts, games, and a t.v. with the live show backstage for the kids. Here's Emma working on her crafts.
Here I am with a few dance girls backstage...I actually don't know the first two but then there is Maddie and Abby Hillis and then on the other side is Kennedy Lopez and one of the girls I taught Arianna. I had to wear a formal dress at the beginning of the show when Lori introduced us. I was proud of my Goodwill find (Goodwill is like the D.I. for all you westerners) it was only $10! I just had to mormonize it :) Now I have a gown to wear on a cruise! HINT HINT MATT! :)
Luke and Nicholas dancing in front of the stage after it was all over! It's contagious!
I think this is how Luke felt after 3 1/2 hours of dance recital!

I LOVE IT!! I want you to be Savannah's teacher. Emma looks beautiful. I love your house too. And you didn't tell us - did YOU perform at the recital? I noticed you had a shiney shirt on. Is that a costume?
Yes we performed to Michael Jackson's "Scream". It was so fun! I miss our performing days! :)
Way to go Emma! You had the best hip movements out there. Of course I am not suprised after your little recital at the scrapbook house last year. I love you.

Ok.... just saw the video. MORGAN made me play it 3 times so we could watch those hip shakes again and again. ADORABLE!!! I also loved the kick line, and how Emma squeezed as many kicks as she could in those counts. What high kicks Emma! You are a beautiful dancer! Savannah and Mags loved it too! Thanks for posting it. Now Sara, we want to see YOUR dance on the blog!
Awesome Video..and I love hearing all Luke's support in the background!! Sara...did you dance? Can you post that...that'd be fun!
I'm glad that you noticed that she tried to get as many kicks in that she could :) Who cares if you miss a few moves, you need to highlight your best ones! :) That's the Rose motto! :) As for the hip shakes...personally that is my FAVORITE part and all year I have told her that and I am glad that I did because by the time recital came they were even bigger and better! I don't know if I am up to having my dance on the blog. I will show you the video this summer :) Thanks for the comments sis!
