dance recital '09

This past Saturday was my dance recital! I was pretty nervous the night before and the morning of, but by the time the actual performance rolled around, I just sort of threw it all out the window and decided: if I mess everything up, so be it. Heh. I wasn't worried about the jazz routine, but I'd been having some problems with the hip-hop one.

We performed the jazz piece first, and it went fine, just as it should. We had one number in between for us to quickly change, then come back out for our hip-hop routine. It ended up going fabulously. I didn't even come close to messing up on anything, it all just sort of . . . flowed. I had so much fun. Hip-hop = my favorite kind of dancing. Afterward, a lot of people told me that it was their favorite number from the recital, even. Yay!

The week before, mum came to rehearsal and snapped some photos.
