Yesterday was recital. And prom. A double header of emotional exhaustion and fun for our family. This guy in the center played Aladdin in the recital production which is both theater and dance. To say he shone would be an understatement. Yes, I am biased. But he is so good at this. It leaves me with my jaw hanging down. The combination of theater and the dance. It is so fun to watch and so so good. This was a big year. The school almost closed; a combination of the pandemic and a tragedy in the owners life. But the love that KC and his class have for her was a big part of what made her hold on and try to rebuild. They would literally do anything for her. He has danced there since he was 5 and he is now 18. He dances all disciplines. He taught a boys hip hop class-a first for the school. He choreographed two duets for himself, one with the young woman who plays Jasmine and one with the young woman who played the genie. They were fabulous and showed a lot of maturity in his craft. The lovely young lady to the left in this shot is his sister Elisabeth. She too, has grown so much in her dance abilities this year.
From the high of the performance it was home to scramble around and get ready for senior prom. Most readers know that we are homeschoolers. Homeschoolers constantly get the question "but how do you socialize." Well, fear not! This guy was taken to prom by not one but TWO lovely young ladies. I am not posting their picture as I don't have the ladies's permission but they looked amazing. One wore white, one work black and KC wore both! They have been friends for years and had a wonderful night together. More dancing and he was exhausted when he got home.
Today is a Youth Group party to say farewell to an Indonesian exchange student who has been part of the group this year. To say this was an emotion packed weekend would be an understatement!
