These aren't my normal outfit posts but I thought I would post a few pictures of me doing what I do best. (Or what I like to do the most, I should say.)
These are just a few poses from the dance that I did Saturday night (as well as our costume). I was so proud of my girls that I teach because they danced beautifully. I only did one dance and thought I would be sick after. (I'm WAY out of shape.) They did 4-5 dances and did them all with energy and beauty. I'm so proud of them.
After about fifteen tries, I finally got my grand jete to second. It was hard to capture the moment when both of my legs hit second position at the same time. As my husband showed me each shot he took, I would say, "You aren't taking the picture at the exact moment that my legs are up!" He responded with, "It's because your legs aren't going high enough." Oh. Whoops. So I huffed and puffed and got my 32 year old legs up. It wasn't easy.
You look amazing Amy - so impressive :)

ReplyDeleteMy goodness, that looks so difficult! =) Love the dress, though, haha!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I just took a ballet class- my first dance class in about a decade! It's amazing how hard it was to get my body turned out, lol :) You look great!
ReplyDeleteWhat great pictures! I'm jealous of your skills.
ReplyDeleteI see a hole in your shoe. ;) Love it! I miss dancing...
ReplyDeleteI had about 6 holes in my shoes in that picture! I got some black tape and taped them for the performance. I bought a new pair of jazz shoes and I will break them in over the summer. I had my old pair for over 10 years. They are SO perfect...minus the holes!
Deletewow, the last photo looks really great!!!

ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous Amy and I can tell you are a disciplined dancer, so graceful! I cannot believe you are a year older than me...I thought you were in your late 20s! You can take comfort that many of my readers today confessed their addiction to F21 ;)
