Charlotte and Audrey both took ballet classes all school year the Northeast School of Ballet. This school doesn't have recitals. Parents are not usually allowed to watch except for the "sneak peek" at the end of each 8-week session. But the school holds an end-or-year demonstration at Melrose Memorial Hall, the town auditorium.
The girls were getting a little weary of it by the end of the year. But they were both inspired by the demonstration, which is one of the goals of the event I'm sure. They loved seeing the older dancers and want to emulate them.
We shot video of both of the girls' levels, plus the highest level 7; a special modern dance piece meant to introduce the older dancers to non-ballet styles; a duet featuring the star graduating dancer and a professional male partner; and finally a piece meant to introduce dancers to the concept of a Corps de Ballet. Here are links to the videos:
The girls expressed a strong desire to sign up again in the fall. We'll see how that plays out.
