LWB Professional Ballerina Day

On Saturday, May 3rd, LWB had a Professional Ballerina Day for girls to come experience a day in the life of a professional ballerina! They participated in devotions, took a mini Ballet class, learned how to do a nice bun, learned some things about pointe shoes, and how to do performance make-up. They also got to see an LWB performance of the Crown, as well as some pieces that the Ballet 5's from the school put together. We all got to the studio early to decorate and set up for the evening. It was so much fun to make the studio all pretty in pink to welcome the girls and their families! Somewhere around 50 girls came, along with some parents and siblings. They all seemed to love the experience! The performance went well; the Ballet 5's did great with their pieces and the Crown also went well! We were dancing very close to the little girls who were sitting on the floor, and they were fascinated with how close we were. There's one part in particular where Karissa (who plays the part of Bitter) points at/accuses me and I fall on the floor. I fell very close to a couple of tiny girls and they were giggling at how close we were and then I felt my crown move! I thought it pretty funny that they touched my crown :) We were all very excited that Amy was able to dance her solo in Hail to the King with us!! Her injury is healing and she is slowly but surely able to do more dancing. It was great having her back :) All around, it was a great event! All the girls were so adorable and we all had fun getting to show them the things "Ballerinas" do! :) Love, Ashley
