Sophie&#8217;s annual dance recital was this past weekend.  Rather than doing a typical recital, the ballet school puts on a ballet.  Last year was Peter Pan; this year was Hansel &#038; Gretel.  Sophie danced three roles:  Evening Twilight (ballet), Gingerbread Fence (tap), and Spiders (modern).  So &#8230; Five rehearsals and five performances later&#8230;. we are done.  She did an awesome job and it&#8217;s been so exciting to see her improve over the years.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re not allowed to film or photograph the dancers actually in the performance.  But here are a few photos of Sophie headed into the performance hall, listening to &#8220;notes&#8221; from the artistic director, and hangin&#8217; out in the dressing room.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/chloepoppins.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/dsc_0004.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/chloepoppins.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/dsc_0004.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Going in...\" width=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-323\" srcset=\"http:\/\/chloepoppins.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/dsc_0004.jpg 839w, http:\/\/chloepoppins.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/dsc_0004-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 839px) 100vw, 839px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sporting our favorite sundress &#8220;de jour&#8221;.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/chloepoppins.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/dsc_0011.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/chloepoppins.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/dsc_0011.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Pondering the dances...\" width=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-324\" srcset=\"http:\/\/chloepoppins.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/dsc_0011.jpg 900w, http:\/\/chloepoppins.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/dsc_0011-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p>She appears to be running through the dances in her head.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/chloepoppins.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/dsc_0017.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/chloepoppins.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/dsc_0017.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"dsc_0017\" width=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-325\" srcset=\"http:\/\/chloepoppins.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/dsc_0017.jpg 950w, http:\/\/chloepoppins.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/dsc_0017-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/chloepoppins.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/dsc_00201.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/chloepoppins.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/dsc_00201.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Guests\" width=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-327\" srcset=\"http:\/\/chloepoppins.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/dsc_00201.jpg 1350w, http:\/\/chloepoppins.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/dsc_00201-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1350px) 100vw, 1350px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sophie&#8217;s friend, Eli, came with his mom to see the performances.
