I can't imagine how many of these I attended. And laughed til I cried every time. Always, one left the stage, one was so enthusiastic and one always stood there looking around. Every single one.
My youngest was the one tears ago barely moving. I told her if she didn't want to do dance it was okay, but if she wanted to she had to be brave and dance! She dud and she practiced really hard 5th grade to get in the advanced class!
My hat off to the younger lad on the end. Clearly the intellectual of the group. Taking it all in and trying to make sense of it. Shows his concern when the little girl beside him heads off stage. This dude has compassion.
My son could have been that kid. Definitely the "intellectual" of the group. But my (computer) geek son now does ballroom dancing about 4 nights a week!
I always loved young recitals and sports events. It was always the sweetest and funniest times. I miss them. Enjoy them while you can. Your babies will grow up so fast🥹
My daughter was exactly like the little motionless chap on the end on sports day. She looked around when the starting gun was fired as if to say what the heck, then remained motionless. Priceless memory.
As a retired dancer, I love how easy it is to see who will be the future performers. Bravo to everyone, especially the teachers! This world can never have too many artists. 🥰
Jerijay What a terrific idea! Start them early. There’s so much to be gained. Confidence, taking direction, working with other children, making art, learning discipline are only some of the great benefits. Your child will go into the World with her head held high and love for others…and of course, love of dance. Bravo! 🙌🙌🙌
I am smiling so broadly my cheeks hurt! What absolutely lovely little kids. Their mother's and teachers would be so proud. Thank you for making my night so much better!!!
I'm a rather senior resident of this planet who never had kids so maybe that makes me the better judge. My heart was about to explode with that certain kind of joy & laughter. Just little angels doing their best as they know how. The teachers are to be commended also. There's some psychology involved here, but I know even less about that. The performance was great & I give everyone up there an "A," plus. Thank you. 🙏❤☺
My son was the opposite he'd be the one that cried and want mummy, then when he was about 7 or 8 and wanted to join the school choir, it was concert time and after the 1st night he was so pleased with himself until I told him he had to do it all again the following night, he was like 'no, no way I've done my turn' 😅
That was my son!!! I lost the recording & I'll never get over it, back when we still relied on phones, yet didn't upload everything to Google as we recorded 🤬
There’s one kid who knows what’s up!! Every one else is all you said there’d be cookies!! I have 8 granddaughters and I’ve seen every recital known to man!! I love this!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤣🤣🤣
God bless all.precious.sat through 3 years of dance with my daughter one show one beautiful little girl kicked off her shoe everyone laughed till we cried
I attended one where a little "angel" had her finger up her not the whole time. Brought back many great memories, including the year myself and other teachers did the can can as 3 French Hens!!! And my parents showed up by surprise. Mortified or what. Now a funny memory. Thank you. Have a great year xx
Eve is a little scene stealer! She's the only one who really seemed to enjoy herself. As a child, I danced on the stage at the Los Angeles County Fair in Pomona, and often watched the dancers onstage as an adult. The tiny ones often don't understand concepts like standing in a row or that they are supposed to do the same things that they practiced in the studio. This makes them so adorable to watch.
Every child is different and carries their own personalities so therefore we cannot compare them to each other. Even children of the same age cannot be compared to. Great performance by all of them
Actually, our lical college pyts on The Nutcracker every Christmas and I am actually amazed at how well the littlest ones do when they portray the mice and Bo Peeps sheep! Adorable!
Seeing this reminds me of myself at 5 years old . I had my first recite in front of a crowd , well i frozen and peed on myself on stage . I can't remember if i ever gotten through my poem . In class i crushed it but that crowd and all those eyes plus the nerves .
It's so funny how I see six distinct personalities here! Lol I am so glad the one little girl wasn't forced to go back on stage. This was fun to watch.
Hahaha! I love these kinds of videos, they remind me of the many dance recitals my daughter was in starting at about this age. They are some of my most precious memories. Enjoy your beautiful babies as much as you can-they grow up in the blink of an eye! 🤗🥰
Golly, this is some kind of "dance video". Watching this "dance video" gives me goosebumps. Yessiree, Bob. Thank you, God, for this wonderful "dance video". Amen.
To any of you who own a dance studio or teach children under 6 years old needs to get the Anna Marie Leo song and dance format. I and my dancer former Dance Studio owner, former dance competition adjudicator and Convention teacher I've always had a great reputation with teaching babies. My mother was the first person to teach children under 5 years old in San Diego in the 1940s. This age can do more than just stand there. This age can learn how to do Four Hills steps and stop for toe steps and stop and slow Shuffles. They can also learn a song and dance very easily with Anna Marie Leos cities. She has instrumental and vocal of each song. And perfect Rhythm for this age group. When I had my studio I had over 60 children under six all the time. So obviously I know what I was doing. Parents were very happy that their kids were happy and learning. This age can do 1 hour class of tap ballet and Tumble. As long as you do the Anna Marie Leo song and dance
