Dance Premier Year End Recital Weekend

This past weekend, Marina's dance studio held 5, yes FIVE, recital shows. Four on Saturday (it was a 12 hour day) and just a short one on Sunday. Whew! It was actually lots of fun, but quite exhausting... and that's just my opinion - I didn't even dance 16 times like Marina did!
This is Marina in costume for her new Jazz dance to "Ramalama - something..." (have to find that program and look up the song title!) It was my ultimate favorite of the year of "class dances" and right up there with "Personal Jesus" which was a "team dance". Fun costume, but really good choreography! This photo shows friends Casey and Tess with Marina (middle) in the dressing room - look Tess only has one stocking on so far... and Tess's mom Kari who is a very good friend of mine!
This is Marina and Camie, hamming it up! Cammie's sister Marin is going to Bejing to the Olympics for swimming. Marin has a brain tumor and now swims with the S.O. team. Amazing story!
Still waiting backstage before their performance, sisters Cassidy and MacKenzie join Marina and Camie. Crazy dolls, huh? Oh! Almost forgot to mention that during the 3rd and final performance of this routine during the 8pm show, Marina's black strap around her neck popped and thankgoodness the bodice of the corset top didn't fall down! We ordered a DVD of the 8pm show (it had 5 of her 7 routines in it), so she'll get to relive her costume malfunction over and over!

Pink and black are a favorite combination of mine. I like the pink ribbon, how it's laced in a criss-cross, and their hair looks cute pulled up like that with the pink ribbons. What fun times!
