worth it. totally. - Cheaper Than Therapy Cheaper Than Therapy

June 10 08

at first i was annoyed. a two-hour performance, of which she’s on stage for 3 minutes? $50 a ticket? that we have to buy on ticketmaster? it’s at the Ford Centre?Â she has to wear make-up? we have to buy her flowers? there’s no flash photography???

but you know what?? watching her up there on stage? even if it was only 3 minutes?

was 100% worth it.

she was GREAT. we still have no clue where she gets it from. i mean, you’ve seen her videos. my dancing? slightly resembles The Carlton…in other words, i will never be auditioning for So You Think You Can Dance. i wouldn’t put that past my daughter.

you know what else is worth it?

ice cream on a REALLY hot day.

Isabella’s hair colour is gorgeous! You must have been absolutely beside yourself watching your daughter up on stage- so cute! What exactly was the performance?

We go to a dance recital every year to watch my cousin’s daughter. This year it made it to four and a half hours! All for about that same 20 minutes of performances. It does sound grueling, but you’re right it’s so worth it to watch them! They work so hard to get to that point, and boy do they shine when they get up there! I bet you’re one proud momma!

I am so looking forward to dance recitals. (Although… $50 a head? Yikes.) We expect my daughter will want to do dance (if she can, you know, actually take a class where she doesn’t need my wife in the doorway the whole time) given how much she enjoys dancing around the house.

And Bella’s hair seems to be coming along… love the “flying nun” wings!

I just watched the low low low video… couldn’t stop giggling! Thanks for the laughs – and I have to say, is 10:30 AM too early for ice cream? I think not!
Have an awesome day!!

I totally understand. It’s expensive, tiring and they look a little creepy with all the make-up on but in the end, it’s totally worth it.

I too cannot dance. And yet it does not stop me from trying.

That photo of the two of you is perfect.

I’d be tempted by the ice cream if we weren’t experiencing JanuJune over here.

And I love the ice-cream-coma eyes. I do that, too.

How adorable. I think that it is very cool that she got the opportunity. I’m sure it is something that she will always remember. Being up on a stage is just cool.

aw… kind of like those mastercard commericals!

I miss dance. I used to LOOOVE dance. I pretend that I’m trying out for SYTYCD.

LOL!!!
Comment by Holly on June 11, 2008
Always worth it for the kids! Price was a bit steep but I suppose they know that parents will pay anything to see their little darlings up on stage.
