Every few years the Love of China School of Dance puts on a large recital that is partially funded by grants from the Austin Arts commission. This was Riley's first chance to participate in the youngest of Ms. Emily's classes, Class of Faith. They are all age 5-6 and the this was a huge deal for most of them and they took all the many rehearsals like champs. The culmination was the big event on Friday night at the Round Rock Performing Arts center. The event was truly amazing to finally watch end to end. The costumes, dancers, tai chi and yoyos were all amazing I only wish we had some videotape to share (we were not allowed to takes photos or videos). I only have a few backstage photos to share unfortunately which don't do them justice but I was so proud of my daughter for her patience (this was the hardest part for her) , her stage presence and for getting out there and giving it 100%. All the dancers were of course fun to watch but its especially fulfilling to see your own daughter who has practiced for over a year for this moment who finally got her few minutes on stage.
