The Ballet Recital
My friend’s niece invited me to join their family for her ballet recital. I’ve seen her recitals for years and it’s been wonderful seeing how she has advanced. She is so beautiful and graceful - a natural ballerina.
The performance started with the youngest dancers and they were so cute. This was followed by many dancers (including my friend’s niece) in “beat of the music” all wearing the same wispy black dresses, then a pas de deux with two of the advanced level dancers. The main story was a long three part story of Sleeping Beauty. In the prologue, my friend’s niece was one of three canary spirits. Later she was one of Princess Aurora’s friends, and then Little Red Riding Hood.
I thoroughly enjoyed it all. It was a very professional production, with all levels of dancers included in all parts of the performance. My friend’s niece and her family are so kind to always ask me to join them.

I have, in the past, been invited to several of my students' performances.
The ballet schools always put on an elaborate show, just looking at the printed program, we can understand how much time, effort, money and love go into these events.
I hope you will have many more opportunities to see the little ballerina perform.
Very special to be asked along.
That sounds like a very special invitation! And a lovely evening.
Aw, that sounds really cute! I love how they included everyone, both n the brochure and the play.
