The dance center Olivia attends does a large production for anyone enrolled in classes there. This year they did Mary Poppins. Olivia was excited to be in it. She had a great time at all the practices and loved hanging out with the bigger girls.
Her character was a baby swan in the Jolly Holiday scene.
She just loves dancing on stage and got so excited! Actually she became so sad when she thought I was missing the show. After I dropped her off for the first show, I had to run back home (but had plenty of time). They took the kids on stage to practice the last scene and Olivia thought it was time for the performance and I hadn't made it back. I felt so bad when I learned how upset she was. All was better once she understood and saw that I wasn't going to miss the show!
They never practiced with all the scenery and everything so during the 1st show, Olivia was a little more distracted by everything than anything else. While Mary Poppins rode away on the turtle, she stopped to watch being left on stage alone until she realized and fluttered off! So cute!
By the 3rd show, the scenery was less distracting and she did such a great job keeping up with everyone (she was the youngest)!
This was such a fun experience for her (and me) and it has me so excited for her recital this May (there will be a big surprise there)!
Everyone came back out for the last scene of "Lets Go Fly A Kite."
Abigail even came to watch her sister dance. She got a little board during slower parts, but absolutely loved the more upbeat dances and of course her favorite part was watching her sister dance!
