Here are the 2 first dances I was in, both in the party scene.  I am in the blue dress with my dad.  At the end of the 2nd dance we leave the party, and you can see my dad pick up our "sleeping" child.  I, on the other hand, take my child that had a short time to change into a soldier (just like I had to change into snow) and get out of there as fast as possible. 

    Here is Waltz of the Snowflakes and Waltz of the Flowers, both Friday night.  I cut off the very beginning of Snow with the Snow King and Queen.  I come in from the front right corner.  In Waltz of the Flowers, I'm the Dew Drop Fairy! 

    I have quite a few of these to post.  I wanted to embed them, but I didn't want them all in one entry, so I'm going to post the last ones first so they'll end up being in order.    So here is Spanish and Saturday night's finale.  In the finale, I come in on the left side in the second group....hopefully you'll be able to find me after that.  lol

Gotta love the pics of Shannon and Coie with their hands on their heads!

In Coie's defense, I will clarify that she was making fun of Shannon for getting her picture taken with her hands on her head...although I'm not really sure if that's a defense or not....

Like I said on my other blog, this is a little late, but I just now figured out how to get the videos to upload so I might as well go ahead and post it!  Enjoy!

Clips from Jr. Miss, May 2006

Here are all the dances I was in at the dance recital yesterday. 

My solo - Destiny

Our group ballet number - Pink Panther
Remember 2 things as you watch this video.  #1, this is not a typical ballet dance.  #2, you don't really get the "full effect" of the dance b/c my dad was taping me!  During the time that we're dancing over on the side, the "panther", the "inspector", and various others are fighting over the briefcase in the middle. 

The Beauty and the Beast numbers:

Town Scene

Wolf Chase

Mob Scene/Gaston's Attack

Be Our Guest

In the town scene, watch for a couple of things.  Watch for when we all are trying to get up the stairs and end up being late for the next part, and watch for when we all jump off the stage b/c we don't have enough time to go down the stairs.  lol  In the mob scene there's a part where nobody's doing anything b/c the people doing that section never could figure out what they were supposed to be doing.  After that it kind of leaves you hanging b/c we don't have the final scene on video, it was a duet w/Belle and the Beast.  But you know how it goes.  He changes back into his princely self and they all live happily ever after.  Be Our Guest was the finale for the ballet section.  The people bowing at the end are, in order: Gaston; Lumiere, Cogsworth, and the enchantress; and of course, Belle and the Beast.

And finally, the father/daughter graduating senior dance that I learned on Friday and the other graduating senior learned an hour or so before the performance.  I think we did pretty well considering all that, though!
Senior Dance

Hope you enjoy!!
