Wonderwoman

This year Corrine had been in a tap/ballet class with 3 of her friends from church. The dance and song for the recital was decided at the end of last fall. The girls and Fritz were going to do a tap dance to Wonderwomen. They practiced week after week on their dance, and for the last 2 months or so, they only practiced their recital piece-no ballet.


The costumes originally ordered for them were true Wonderwomen costumes, but there were some issues with some of the costumes, so just weeks before the recital they ordered new costumes for the girls. They weren't true Wonderwomen costumes, but they were sparkly and pretty.



Corrine looked forward to dance class each week, and would get dressed so quickly when it was time to get ready for it. We have been amazed at how much Corrine has grown this past year and we know dance class helped boast her confidence and helped her to open up more.
She loved getting all the makeup on for the studio dress rehearsal, class pictures, dress rehearsal at the US Cellular Center and the actual performance. She especially liked the mascara and RED lipstick. I'm not sure that it made her face stand out more on stage-but it made her feel so much prettier that it was worth putting on (and getting off of her) each time.

The recital was at the US Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids. There were LOTS of people there, and Corrine bravely got on stage and danced with what looked like no fear. They were so fun to watch, they were dancing at different speeds and at the end Fritz and the 2 girls pulling him off stage tripped and fell on top of him-taking down the bad guy! They all did such a great job and we are so proud of all of the kids in the class.


Nani & Papa flew in for the weekend with all the fun things we had going on, and they were able to see Corrine at the performance along with Grandpa Smith.
