Grace began taking dance this year with Mr. Jack here in Greenville. She really enjoyed it, although she would never share with us what she learned! Her first recital was last Thursday & boy, did she enjoy herself! Nana sent her a Fancy Nancy book & inside she wrote, "Dance like no one's watching!" Well, once Grace's group took the stage we could tell that she was going to do just the opposite! Once she saw the crowd & realized that she was in the spotlight (along with her friends, but come on, you know she thought they were there to see her!) she danced like EVERYONE was watching!! They were all so cute & did such a good job on their first recital. First they performed their tap dance & then they came out & performed their ballet dance. After the first dance, as they were marching off the stage, Grace turned to the audience & blew everyone a big ol' kiss! The audience laughed at her silly antics, which in turn made her do it yet again as they left the stage after their ballet dance! We were so proud! We weren't quite sure what she would do once she saw how big the audience was. She had no problem with it at all. In fact she told me later that all she wanted to do was be on the stage! So, after the first dance recital we can truly say, "A star was born!"
