Nutcracker 2011 Cadance Mother Ginger

Chinese Tea-Cadance Nutcracker 2010

For all of those of you who missed the show a few weeks ago here is a video of Victoria preforming in the Nutcracker! She is in the red costume with the yellow umbrella (although that is pretty obvious!) I apologise that the beginning is cut off...my battery was low and I wanted to get all of Victoria's part in the video. Basically all you miss is Drosselmeyer coming on stage with one of the umbrella's and gives it to Clara and the Nutcracker. He then leaves and the Chinese dancers enter....





It was a fantastic show! Great job Victoria.

Victoria's tech rehearsal

Preparations for the weekend performances are well under way. Here is a very short clip of Victoria's group practicing during the tech rehearsal.

Nutcracker Tickets

Just a friendly reminder that Victoria is dancing next weekend at the Atlantic Theater Festival in the Nutcracker. Tickets are available now for all 3 shows. Just give me a call or call the Acadia box office.

Canace Academy Grand Finale "Fireflies"

I tried to upload my little video clip of the grand finale but it didn't seem to want to work. So here is the video the dance school uploaded to YouTube. This was something you really had to see in person to truly appreciate. It honestly gave me chills. Everyone of the little lights you see is a Cadance student. If you pause the video at 2:19 Victoria is the second one in from the right side in the silver angel costume.

The Big Finale: Dance Recital Part 4

The grand finale was danced to "Fireflies"

I will try and post some videos as the pictures don't do it justice.

Little Angels...Dance Recital Part 3

Here are some pictures of the grade one RAD class dancing as "Little Angels."

Dance Recital

Victoria was asked to dance (as a special guest) with the pre primary class at the end of year dance recital. She was Mary from "Mary had a little lamb" and all the younger kids were her little lambs. It was so cute!!

I will be posting pictures of her other dances over the next few days.

June Dance Recital Randoms

I am sorry for being so slack! Victoria had her dance recitals on the weekend. I am posting a couple cute ones of her in her Pocahontas costume. I will post more once I get organized...I just don't know when that will be lol!!

My Princess Ballerina

Dance classes are almost over with for another year. Today Victoria decided to pick out her own dance outfit. Isn't my little princess ballerina cute??

My Little Falling leaf...take 2

My Little Falling Leaf

I am such a slacker. I was very kindly reminded by my best friend that I have yet to upload a video of Victoria dancing in her ballet recital back in the spring. My very pathetic excuse is that I had pneumonia and then forgot...my excuses aren't very creative are they? Anyway the title of the spring show for 2008 was The Four Seasons. Victoria's class were falling leaves. The video I have uploaded was a "surprise" dance that Victoria and her friend Anna did with one of the instructors. None of us parents knew they were doing it. Four of the instructors were the four seasons spring, summer, fall and winter. This instructor was fall. Victoria and Anna came out to represent the changing of seasons from summer to fall. The little girl in the corner of the stage that is carried off the stage at the end by "fall" is dressed as a butterfly just in case you can't tell. Victoria and Anna were to lead there class out after this was over so please forgive the 15 seconds of blank stage at the end. I wanted to get Victoria when she came back on stage.

Victoria is in the red, Anna is in the yellow. :)

Ballet

Today was Victoria's first day back to ballet and prejazz for the year. Isn't she cute???

Ready for Ballet Class..

Victoria is feeling better finally and was able to attend ballet class yesterday. Doesn't she look cute????

She is such a little princess.
