Here is Georgia with her ballet friends preparing for the performance. It was a flutter of activity behind stage. Excitement was high and moms were tossing makeup, hairspray and tutus everywhere. I got Gigi ready at home so I could snap a few pictures of the backstage anticipation.
Here is another ode to Degas with the ballerinas hurriedly lining up to go onstage.
The girls performed to "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polkadot Bikini". It was pretty fun watching them walk onto the stage. They came out in towels (see the first picture) and swayed back and forth hiding behind the towel as the lyrics sang "she was afraid to come out of the locker, she was afraid to open the door..." and then at "2..3..4.. tell the people what she wore" they dropped the towels, put their hands on their hips and shimmied around. Pretty darn cute. I wish I could have gotten a close-up photo of Gigi but this is the best my lens would zoom.
And here is Georgia after the performance, still dancing in the backyard. They gave every little a girl a rose and announced each of their names at the end. This was a special night!
