This past weekend was supposed to be Serafina's big recital weekend. She would have performed four dances over two days, and her Jazz dance included her friend Millie. Of course, none of that happened because of Coronavirus. Instead, she put on her costume and makeup and danced in our living room during her usual zoom class time while the teacher recorded it. She has two more classes later this week and then all the videos will be shared with parents as a "virtual recital". It's hard not to feel sad about this. She was a good sport and did her best, but she was upset after because this isn't what she imagined for herself. She's also really worried what will happen for next dance season.
Here she is in her sparkly Jazz costume.
She did her own makeup and she did a great job.
Sassy Jazz poses
Showing off how the dress sparkles. This would have looked great on stage.
Saying farewell to the Jazz class and teacher. Her friend Millie is in this class so when we feel safe to start seeing people, we plan to have the girls put the costumes back on and take a picture together.
The ballet costume actually photographs well. In person, it's kind of a strange green color.
It looks much prettier here.
Thursday she'll perform two more dances. Recitals are usually pretty busy for me with shuttling her back and forth to the theater and helping backstage for at least one performance. This year my only job is to keep the dog and Leo out of the room while she performs.
