The Sold Out Show

I can't believe it. I used to be such a good dance mom. Remember all the grief I have taken for "having to be the first in line to buy tickets"? Well this is the first and the worst. I not only was not first in line but I had to work at the show to be able to see the show because it sold out before I got tickets!

It was a beautiful show that you all will be required to sit and enjoy on dvd when it arrives.

The costumes are pretty and so grown up. The piece is a story about dance class where the girls were deliberately not ready, not paying attention, absorbed in themselves and what they were doing... It was beautiful yet amusing at the same time. In the picture below the other girls are dancing as they should be while Ashley is so into herself dancing and enjoying performing that she doesn't realize the other girls are gone. It was a great "solo" piece.

This short video clip doesn't do justice. It was from dress rehearsal. Shelley was having a rough day and wasn't happy with a lot of things.

Note to all... the June recital performances are Friday, June 13 & Saturday, June 14th. The shows are both the same, you can pick either night. Curtain time is 6:30pm at Libertyville High School. Ashley's will be performing her first piece under the direction of the amazing Mark Yonally. How long have we been waiting for this? Knowing Mark, it will be great!

If you really love Ashley and feel bad about missing Dancescapes, as of right now, Ashley will also be in a softball tournament that weekend in Racine Friday thru Sunday. We don't have any game times yet but please feel free to spend the weekend with us as a fan and as an audience member.

The tournament is a National Qualifier, one of the largest in the Midwest and the largest in Wisconsin!
