Dance,dance and still more dance...

As the Mom of a dancer that is my life this week. Yesterday it involved about 4 hours of my day...dress rehersal day. Tonight is a performance and I'm helping out backstage and then Thursday night I actually get to sit in the audience and enjoy the show. I took a bunch of pictures yesterday and was actually trying to play with the manual settings on my camera (practice makes perfect right?) Most of them are far from perfect( actually downright ready to be deleted) but I have some I can work with. I thought I'd share some with you...

Her 1st number is a tap number to the song "Hey Mickey" (cheerleader costume)

her side of the stage lined up to start (she's the 2nd in line from front)

a slightly blurry pic... pom-pom's high in the air


Even though this is totally out of focus...I love it!
I guess because it shows the motion and energy?


Okay next number is a jazz routine done to "I can't dance". For all of you who hav e been subjected to the High School Musical craze this is from HSM2...the baseball field dance. Hence her baseball costume :wink:

there she is in the back row....

a closeup that actually turned out pretty good!

so that is what I'm up to this week. Busy, busy busy no time for creating...just being there for one of my kids. Hopefully this weekend I can find some time to do something with a few of these pictures.

Oh, how cute! Can't wait to see more pics and LOs! You are so brave to try the manual settings. I tried once while we were on vacation, thinking I was all smart, but it just turned out really dark. I did, however, use the "P" mode to force the flash to go off when we were up on the space needle. We had a bunch of pics where our faces were dark but the background was really light. The biggest surprise, though, was that I kept my eyes open for the flash. Normally, I'm hopeless.
