After many, many, many, (did I mention many) Saturdays of rehearsal at dance class, a technical rehearsal at the Grand Sierra Resort on the (wait for it) world's largest theatrical stage, and a full-blown dress rehearsal on the same said stage, Little Squirrel finally had her first dance recital last night. The "Intro to Dance" class did a routine to "On the Good Ship Lollipop" in full Shirley Temple regalia. It had the twelve little girls from the Saturday class and the twelve little girls from the Tuesday afternoon class for a grand total of 24 three to five year olds tap dancing in curls.

She was mesmerized until the very end (at approximately 11pm!). It was quite an adventure for us all.
