Community Showcase 2023

Little One's second season of studying dance at the Cincinnati Ballet came to a close this weekend with the Community Showcase.  Even though she gave her best at least year's performance, this year she was far more confident and knew what to expect.  She practiced her routine with dedication, but more importantly she prepared herself mentally for the minutes in front of the audience.

Here she is on the way to the showcase...

Her ballet teacher told me that during the final rehearsal and the wait to go on stage, Little One was clearly nervous, but also determined to perform well.  And so she did.  Our seats were about as far away as you could get from where Little One was on the stage, so this is the best I could snap.  Plus there may have been tears blurring my vision, too.

Little One's in-home teacher attended the performance to support her alongside us and brought her roses.  She felt like a real star with her fan club, her success and her bouquet.  And then we enjoyed some celebratory icecream to boot.

We're so very proud of our Little One and she is certainly proud of herself, too, for all the progress she has made pursuing her passion over the last twelve months.  Kid, you're killing it!
