Just a couple of photos of Elaine. There are lots more on my facebook page and on Plano Metropolitan Ballet's facebook page (I am in charge of that one, too). I had to add about $40 worth of crystals and beads to the dress so she was more "sparkly" on stage. You can't tell from the photos, but it did work. I'm thinking she needs a few more on the sleeves, though.
She got an extra solo in her two performances this weekend because the Prince was sick and didn't think he could do the one fast sequence with her. I understand he was backstage throwing up between scenes. Not good, but "The Show Must Go On!"
We also had one of the Princesses miss opening night because she had a concussion. She still danced on Saturday, but very cautiously!
Wish you could all be here to see it. Elaine's dancing has improved so much and she is dancing so beautifully! (she won't like the top photo, because she said she was too close to the prince and therefore couldn't get her leg up as high as normal.)
