Ballet, Tap, & Jazz recital

Beth has been continuing her Ballet, Tap, & Jazz dancing lessons & participated in the end-of-year dance recital. Since Beth is in the older age-group, she performed two ballet & two tap dance routines. The recital was once again held at the local sports center where Beth has her lessons. There were two events; an evening dress rehearsal, where photos & videos were allowed, & the main 'matinee' event where no photography was allowed. This is a really great idea since it means that the girls are not distracted by continual camera flashes, parents aren't getting in the way of the performance trying to get that 'perfect photo', & the competition for front row seats is reduced considerably. It was made very clear that no photography was allowed at the matinee performance, but some parents just had to take photos. All kudos to the dance instructor who actually stopped the show to reiterate that photos were not allowed & that the girls were being distracted by the camera flashes. Beth, as usual, put on a great performance!
