Eva's Dance Recital at Nancy Chippendale's

So we enjoyed watching Eva "Pidge" take the stage on Saturday in her 2nd dance recital (1st year at Nancy Chippendale's right here in Windham)

We had heard great things about the studio and because it is right in town, we thought it would be convenient.  The bonus was when my mom offered to take her to dance this year so we wouldn't have a break in our work days.  It was an awesome experience for Pidge and Mimi.

The only other time Pidge had been in a recital was when she danced at Carlene Nazarian's one year.  She wanted to be at Diana's studio...here she is at 3!

Anyway, Chippendale's was a great experience.

On Friday Night, Mama and Eva headed to dress rehearsal.  Because I had not spent time at the studio this year, I was overwhelmed and did not know what to expect BUT the Mamas were awesome and I actually got to hang out with a few friends from town- they helped the time pass and we had fun chatting.

Snapped a few pics of Pidge back stage :)

(This number was called Red Shoes)

(and this one was called Early Birds)

 

 The Chipps Insta Account was on fire too! This is Eva's class :)

Saturday was Show Time!  Unfortunately Diana had to miss the show as she had rehearsals from 10:00am-3pm at her dance studio!

Mama and Daddy and the Grandparents rallied though and thoroughly enjoyed our little ham on stage!

and some backstage fun with a few besties :)

Afterwards, we showered her with praise, kisses and flowers of course :)

So proud of our Little Pidge!  She has decided that she wants to follow Big Sis, and she will be starting lessons at LDA next year as well!  That means another ballet student for Mrs. Mullen AND bonus, Mimi is going to continue her chaperoning duties :)
