It is every mother's dream to have their beautiful daughter, dressed in her adorable little tutu, hair done, smile shining brightly on stage. A vision of pure perfection...
...Yeah, well, it is Ali after all - that dream lasted about twenty seconds.
Last Thursday, I attended Alison's very last dance class with Miss Diane of Diane's Studio of Dance. Ali took the class through Mona Shores' Community Services program, as did Sammi a few years ago. We know Diane well since Madison and Sammi now take classes at her Fruitport studio every week. That may be the unfortunate part of this story....I have to see her again on Tuesday.Alison was adorable - she was dressed in a purple leotard with a dark purple dancing skirt and my mom had curled her hair and put it in a teeny-tiny pony tail. She was an angel - at least in visual terms. Don't get me wrong - she had the time of her life in the class. She twirled, she plied, she did all the fabulous dance steps she was taught - she just did them "Ali-style".
Oh, yeah, one other small point - she did them all on her own, without care for the music or Miss Diane's instruction. Oh, and I forgot, she did them in between kisses to her Mom, Grandmas and sisters and after running to the front of the stage to tell us just "one more thing".
Yep, she was the trouble maker of the group. But, she's three. And she loves to dance. And she's three. Did I mention she's three?
The first video is of the "Say Hello" song. You've got to love a little group of girls singing their greeting!! The second video is "I Can Copy Cat". This is where Alison shows off her ability to toe tap and twirl like there is no tomorrow. The last video is some rocking little number - you have to watch this one to see Alison shake what God gave her - just hysterical!! I taped most of her "recital" because Scott was in Florida visiting his Dad and couldn't make it. So, here it is, honey. You're beautiful little "mini-me" in her first performance.
I can absolutely bet the house on the fact this will not be her last. In Miss Diane's own words "she's got the drama gene"!! God help us all!!
**!Enjoy!**
It should be noted that these are the three little clips that I wasn't incredibly embarrassed to put on my blog. The other ones you'd hear me telling Alison to get her adorable little booty back on stage!! LOL
