Not-At-All-Crazy Fact: This Was Alexis' 14th Recital

Dance recitals are essentially just another day ending in "y" for Alexis, but I suppose I should still post photos from her most recent one? Maybe?

She has 8 or 9 dances this year. You would think I would know exactly how many she has, but counting that high is effort. So, no thank you. Also, there's a small group thing that she's an alternate for and I genuinely don't know whether or not to count that. I paid for the costume and she'll be performing at nationals, so maybe? Whatever.

ANYWAY. My favorite of all of her dances this year is her acro dance, mostly because they open it upside down and stay that way, doing various poses/handstands, for like 60 seconds. It's so ridiculous because I do not understand how a group of humans can do that. And they do it perfectly synchronized (though, a camera has a magical ability to capture them not being quite perfectly synchronized).

Also, flips. I like flips. Alexis is the upside-down kid in this one.

There isn't really much else to say about her recitals. Alexis has been dancing forever. She's good at it, though she will quickly tell you she's not THAT good. It's a point of contention around these parts lately.

I'd say more about that, but that would cause Alexis to dig in her heels more on the topic so instead LOOK HOW LOVELY SHE IS. (Far left.)

I mean, they're all lovely once you get to this level.

Which makes it infinitely more fun to watch.

Because after a weekend of watching recitals for kids of all ages, I can tell you that I will stick to the advanced high school kids, plus Mila. All the rest? Not my thing.

But that may just be the "I watched over 8 hours of dance in two days" talking.

Anyway, well done, Alexis. I'm looking forward to nationals, especially the part where there's a few days I'll be spending at the beach instead of watching dance. :-D
