Dream Dance Concert 2013

Anna had her third dance concert a few weeks ago.  This concert was titled Dream.  It was based on the book DREAM by Susan Bosak.
Anna was super excited to "dance on the stage" again. 
A few weeks before the show they had a mini dress rehearsal in class.  I think we are getting better at the hair and makeup thing.

They also took class pictures. We haven't gotten the class pictures back yet, but I know they are going to be fantastic!!!!!
Here is my silly "mommy" shot that I took that day in class. 

Devin did the videos for the concert again.  Here is a link to his preview for this concert.  He does such great work!!!
I helped print and cut out fliers. And stuff programs for our neighbor who runs the studio.  After stuffing 700 programs I told Devin that I have always known that 700 is a lot, but now I really know it is a lot!

I also helped film the first night's shows.  I was thrilled that our friend Earl was able to come help out the second night so I could just enjoy the concert as a mommy.  
Anna was super excited the day of the concert.  She looks pretty grown up carrying her costume bag with her hair all done and makeup on.  She is getting to be quite the pro at knowing where to go back stage and which dressing room is for her class.

She loves making sure everything looks great in the mirror before she performs.

I was worried that I was going to have to video both nights, which would mean that we wouldn't get any "Just Anna" videos.  I brought my video camera with the hope that I might see someone from our ward that wouldn't mind taking some video for us.
Lucky for me our Bishop happened to be sitting dead center on the front row.  Aren't Bishops the best! :)   He did a great job!  Here are the videos from the first night.

Anna did a great job!  She has really come a long way.  It is fun to walk into a room to find her practicing her dances.  She has really caught on.  
She was thrilled that Braxton was able to come to her concert.  Braxton recently received his mission call and Anna was worried that he wouldn't be able to come since he is a missionary now.  Good thing Braxton doesn't leave until September.   We are so glad that Janae and Braxton come.  Anna loves having them there and we love seeing them too!

Since I had to help video the second show the first night Anna stayed with us.  She loves seeing the whole concert.  She also loved running around on the stage a bit when the concert was over.

The second night went well.  I could tell that Anna was tired.  Poor girl was up super late the night before and didn't get a whole lot of sleep.  She still did a great job!

We are really proud of Anna, she is becoming a really good little dancer.  I love that she has found something that she really enjoys doing.  The next concert is The Wizard of OZ.  I can't wait!
