Matisyn's Dance Recital





Matisyn's Dance Recital
May 26

Matisyn started dance back up after she decided she couldn't stand being away anymore.  She loved gymnastics too, but for now I made her choose one.  She really is born to dance and perform.  I'm not sure about her dance skill level at this point, that will take some time to develop!!!  But I know she knows what it takes to perform and work the crowd!  She was cracking all of us up with her attitude, and she actually did a great job remembering the dance and following along to the music.  She added a little bit of her own flare and booty shake too, which made her so fun to watch.  This year's recital was nice because there was a stage so visibility was better, and the costumes were adorable.  Matisyn loved being a fairy.  Her group started out the show with a dance to the song "Fly to your Heart."  The finale number was a Michael Jackson medley with all the different age girls.  They got to do a little move to the music one at a time while they were all gathered around.  Matisyn was last.  They ended with a freeze dance competition.  Matisyn stayed in for a pretty long time, and was crushed when she got out.  I think her teacher Erika did a good job cheering her up!  We were so excited to have family there to watch with us this year.  Matt's sister Becky and her whole family came, and Matt's mom came.  Matisyn was so excited to have all of them there, especially when Grandma Barb brought her flowers, and the girls got to come over and have ice cream to celebrate with us.
