Feathers float over her ballerina bun.
Artistic makeup adorns her fresh, pure face.
Her young dancers body is transformed into a fairy swan
with all its white flounce and silver sparkle.
She sits to slip ballet shoes in place.
All that's left to do is wait...
Act 2
Dance 2
By A Lake, Ballet
from Swan Lake
Music by Tchaikovsky
Peoria Ballet Company Academy Performance
We sit enraptured through the magical show.
Every dance and each graceful movement on the stage
sweeping us along.
Then, finally...
There She is...
Our Beautiful Swan.
Dancing.
So many emotions.
So few words to describe them.
We have been watching the dance of this swan since she was three.
She loves ballet like she was born knowing it somehow.
I think maybe God sprinkled some fairy dust in the blueprint of her soul.

Thank you so much Sandi! She is our pride and joy, for sure!
DeleteTo watch her grow and develop in life and in her dance leaves me speechless at times. God sure knew what He was doing when He created grandchildren. I wish you the same... a very lovely weekend.
Blessings,
Danette
oh, so beautiful!! I bet she's a wonderful dancer. and what a glamorous costume... my daughter's recital costumes look like something out of toddlers and tiaras, ugh.
ReplyDeleteThank you Julie! This is her first year with Peoria Ballet. They are a professional Ballet Company. They have teachers who have been professional ballerinas. She had to go through try outs to be accepted. They do the Nutcracker at Christmastime every year. The recital and all of the costumes were amazing.
DeleteShe has grown so much! What a wonderful time you had watching her. Lovely. : )
ReplyDeleteCan you believe this is my little curly headed Gabby, Kar?!!
DeleteThey grow too fast! Thank you!
Aw! I love ballerinas! Have you read the shoe books? I keep them beside my little toe shoes.
