Dance Recital!

BOTH girls had their dance recital today.  And BOTH girls had their dad dance with them in the Daddy Daughter Dance, which was a tap theme this year.  Wow, what lucky girls to have such a brave and nice (or perhaps mentally ill?!) Dad.

Dance recital!

Sunday was Tess' dance recital.  Grandma Muriel and Papa Art came to town special for the event.  We were lucky enough to score front row seats to the show.  In attendance were Meena, Papa, Grandma, Papa Art, Michael, Stacey, Dad, Nora and me.

Miss. Hip Hop and her little sister (also in make-up, of course)

Perhaps one of my favorite pictures of her.  Ever.

Let's just say that it's a good thing everyone was there for the recital.  At the very end when all the dancers were on stage for the finale, the owner of the studio passed out one award to the 2013 Student of the Year.  And we all about fell out of our chairs when she announced that the winner was Tess Tillman.  Um, WHAT?  Unreal.  Tess was selected out of over 200 dancers (many of whom are in more than one class).  Needless to say, we are still completely baffled as is the 6 year old who was honored with said award. On that note, does anyone know of any good agents for 6 year old stars?

When she won, I tried to grab the camera quick.  Wasn't quite prepared.
