WINTER DANCE RECITAL


In Summer 2007 I volunteered to create and teach a dance for the Nibley Heratige Days Childrens Play. I taught about 23 five year olds a dance, and it went so well, that I found the confidence to try teaching dance out of my home. After struggling through a severe depression this has been a wonderful way to boost my self esteem and help me look forward to acommplishing other things. In October I registered 14 students ages 3-6 in my Dance Studio which I called FIRST STEP DANCE STUDIO. It's been a dream come true.
I decided to do a recital and planned it for December 21st at the Whittier Center in Logan. I prepared three dances for the girls, Animal Fun, Pineapple Princess, and the 12 days of x-mas. They also did a number were I had their dads come onto the stage to learn the five ballet positions. It was a success I think.
It's been rewarding to start something and see it through to the end. I will do another semester starting in about 2 weeks. I will include an adult class and also a 7and 8 year old class. Shelby will be in my three year old class. I look forward to having her in dance with me because she loves it. I love it too.
