Ballet photoshoot

I didn't quite manage to post every day in November.  It's been a big week and although I could have posted one liners on how tired we all are, that seemed a little pointless.

So, instead, for your delectation, a series of photos from Alice's ballet class's pre-concert photo shoot.  The big day is looming (two weeks to go) but today was the "try on your costume and practise hanging about for a long time" day.

Alice and her compadres were really good.  They waited a good 90 minutes before it was their turn and filled the time with dancing, swirling, whirling and doing each others' hair.

Thank goodness they are not required at the dress rehearsal next week.  I'm rather hoping that she doesn't want to do ballet for very many years - concerts seem to take whole days out of your lives just near Christmas.  And that's just for a pre-schooler on stage for 5 minutes.  Happily we are at a very non-pushy school so the kids and the Mums had fun today.  They are going to be flowers at Princess Aurora's Christening (the production is Sleeping Beauty) if I have not already mentioned that.
