Sleeping Beauty Ballet

Last weekend was so busy with Hazel's dance company's production of Sleeping Beauty. There were three performance at the Florence Little Theatre and Hazel was in two of them. The whole company has worked so hard on this and it showed. Everyone did beautifully. Hazel was so excited to be a "shadow fairy." Steve and I went and watched the performance on Friday night along with Nana & Papa, Mrs. Katie & Caitlyn & Mrs. Kanye & AG. It was long, but good. I never took ballet and is really not that into it, but my Hazel LOVES it and I'll watch her even if it means sitting for 2.5 watching girls (and boys) dance to weird music and not talking.

Mrs. Katie, Caitlyn & AG during intermission. Hazel was so happy they came to watch her dance. They are two of her closest friends!



Saturday afternoon was an abbreviated performance (Thank God) and Hazel wanted to go watch some of her other friends that were dancing as shadow fairies. Her good friend, Lucy went too Afterwards they had a "Garden Tea Party" and the girls had so much fun.





Note: Cheryl took more pictures of Hazel & Lucy at the tea party and I will add those as soon as she emails then to me. I was helping serve food at the party.


On Sunday's performance, I helped out backstage with the girls and did hair and makeup. So, when you see these pictures of these "fairies" they look more like drag queens! Just kidding, the makeup has to be heavy on stage. Hazel had a blast and can't wait until November and maybe she will get a part in The Nutcracker. I hope so!
Look at that makeup! Does mine look that bad?
