Displaced Beachbums

FG took ballet classes for 4 years in Germany. Her official dance recital was held in July 2004 at the Max Reger Halle in Weiden. FG was so excited to actually be on a real stage where we had seen several professional shows. I forget why they were covering their ears ~ it was a song about the Elefanten-Tanten (Dancing Elephant).

FM was not able to attend since he was out of town but I did drag my neighbor, Stephanie, since she only has boys and probably wouldn’t have many chances to attend a dance recital. It was a fun night and the only problem was I sat in the center of the second row and FG saw me as soon as she walked on stage. She froze for a minute but thankfully she didn’t wave and yell “Hi,Mom.” Her teacher, Kathrin, was so energetic and fun with all the girls in the class and they loved her. FG had such a positive experience that now she wants to be up on the stage all the time.
