Dancing queen

Meet Alivia! I haven't gotten to introduced you to her yet. She is 10 going on 25! She has always been so grown up. When she was a baby she used to crawl in the bed and watch soap opras with her mom!

This weekend was her much anticipated spring dance recital. She had a modern routine, a jazz routine and a hip-hop routine! I have to say that she is definitely something when it comes to hip-hop. She did great! :)

I'm so proud of her. She really fits in the spotlight!

But check out the BEAUTIFUL B&W's her mom and I took before the recital.

Watching her dance made me wonder why my mom never put me in dance when I was little. I am uncoordinated and have 2 left feet... sigh...

I definitely think that dance is good for little girls. It puts them out there in front of an audience and what can only improve their confidence. I watched as her best friend, Kinley, (who I always thought of as shy) dance on stage in front of tons of people smiling and dancing like no one was watching!

And since I wasn't in dance I will blame my inability to talk to shoe guy on that! :)

"See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen..."
