May 19, 3:00 p.m. was recital time for not one but three of our children. Nova and Solomon had their Spring violin recital, and Charlotte had her first dance recital. How to do this? Well, we split up. Grandmas and Dad went to Charlotte's. Grandpas and Mom (and Aria) went to Solomon and Nova's. We met up for hot chocolate afterward.
Solomon, Nova, Ariadne and I were able to get in on the dress rehearsal of Charlotte's recital and snag a little video. Charlotte is the one closest to the teacher (video quality does improve as the dance progresses). The song is about a charming mosquito. Charlotte's dance school, Zenon, is very casual. The lessons are drop in and the kids were allowed to wear whatever they wanted for a costume. Offerings range from ballet to hip-hop, which makes for a delightfully varied recital. Below is a group warm-up.
Solomon played Gavotte by Martini. He had dynamics! So fun to see them progress! Nova played Witches Dance by Paganini, quite the favorite at our house. She worked hard on her high 3s and 4s, and bowing.
