Her production is over for another year! She lives for this time and has so much fun for the three weekends they perform. She played a "street urchin" and a "chef".This year was the first she got to do a pointe number. She was very excited about that. You can see her on pointe in the middle picture.
The show this year was Orphan Annie, and I must admit I couldn't see how they were going to turn a musical like Annie into a ballet, but they did a very good job. If you'd seen the musical, you would have no trouble understanding the ballet at all.
Unfortunately, this year with the economy the way it is, we did not sell out every performance. In fact, we only sold out two of the seven, and one of them seemed practically empty.
Still, the girls (and two guys) had so much fun that I don't think it mattered how many were in the audience!
We are just hoping Craig still has a job this time next week and she can continue to take ballet!
The bottom photo is Elaine with her good friend Caitlyn. Everyone thinks they are sisters and maybe even twins; they do look very much alike, especially with their hair up in buns!

Looks like fun! I didn't know she could dance on pointe!
Yes, this is her second year on pointe, third if you count "demi-pointe". I am just glad she doesn't yet go through the shoes as fast as some of the girls. At $80 a pair, I don't want to have to replace them every month!
The pics tell it all: Elaine is absolutely beautiful and very talented.
Thanks, it was so much fun to do!
Elaine
