Alli's Ballet

Alli had her ballet debut last Sunday as her dance group performed a shortened version of The Nutcracker.
Alli's 4 year old ballet class played the role of the Dancing Clown Dolls. She practiced all week at home in the living room.
I uploaded a lot of photos but our little ballerina posed for MANY more than you see here... I had a hard time narrowing it down.

Here she is at home - her stage makeup is on, hair successfully put into a bun, practicing her tippy-toe twirls at home just before show time.



Alli had to be at the auditorium an hour before the rest of us for a final rehearsal. We picked up some flowers to surprise her with. Tyler was the proud brother ready to watch his first ballet!



Posing in her class lineup as the audience finds their seats...

Waving to her fans in the audience...

She was sooo excited to have a "performance" - and as an added bonus B'anny drove in to watch her debut!

Getting her rosy cheeks...

Rosy cheeks always make for bigger smiles...

This is an Alli original - her "pose"

Alli and her friend Reagan - they share the same school and ballet class.

4 year olds patiently waiting in the audience - "Is it my turn yet??"

Here is the video of our little ballerina, she was so happy dancing around on stage!

Look at that excited expression as she exits the stage door.

She was beaming for the rest of the day!

And back up on stage with her class for their bow and applause.

And, of course, more posing...

I tried to upload the pictures that captured her excitement the most. This was a very big day for our Alli!
