Nutcracker: The Dress Rehearsal

J.'s ballet school did a modified version of the Nutcracker this year for the Winter Recital. Aove are the three Ginger Kids M., J. and L.
J. was eiger to have some makeup so I tried RED lip gloss. The night of the show we did a pinker, not so intense lip gloss and a little blush, not that she needs any makeup!

It is hard to get her hair to stay in a bun so one of the other ballet mom's told me the trick of using a hair net - so hear is the results. It worked well!

The side view.

Here is a close-up of M.


J. posing on stage. Since it was a dress rehearsal at the actual theater there was lots of picture taking before the actual rehearsal got started.

The mice and the Mouse King.


The Snow Flakes

The soldiers.

Clara and the Nutcracker (he wore a white shirt at the performance). If Clara looks just like one of the soldiers to you, it is because she is a twin.


Clara and her brother. Below is a brief video of the Ginger Kid number.

Janet Loves Ballet


Janet's summer started with a recital. She has been taking ballet with Ms Corinne for about a year and they closed the year with a recital where she got to wear this beautiful costume and dance to some Disney princess tunes. They all got to fall asleep like Sleeping Beauty at the end.

Her fifth birthday party was in August and she had a ballet party to celebrate. Friends came in their ballet clothes. Dancing, lunch and cupcakes were the order of the day.
