Sleeping Beauty, the aftermath

SO....for some insane reason we did sign up our daughter for Sleeping Beauty. It seemed like every ounce of her extremely strong will went into bucking every attempt to get her to behave, be good, be like the other little girls while she was waiting in line. When the music started she was usually well behaved and willing to try the steps. She did pretty well considering how insane things looked while we were waiting. I tried to pull out a couple of times, but the director kept stating that she would be in it. So she was. Whew.

My son did a great job as a goblin, he and 3 other boys really got into their roles and very scary costumes they got to wear. Plus the evil 'witch' they got to accompany was an extremely accomplished older dancer who previously worked with the Bolshoi, he was really nice to the kids and they enjoyed working with him. I think they learned a thing or two about expressive dance.
