Show Business

Sophia has always been a natural performer. She knows exactly what to say, right on cue. She doesn't have a shy bone in her body and she picks up ditties and dances like a Broadway star. So when she had the opportunity to perform on stage, there was nothing she was more excited for. Beginning in September with her first dance lessons, Sophia began talking about her Spring Concert. She looked forward to her costume, the pictures, the flowers and the audience who would watch her dance steps in amazement, she was sure. One Saturday in May Steve and I took her to Regis College where her dream came true. She and her fellow dancers tapped to "Achy Breaky Heart", dressed head to toe in their purple sequined outfits, accented with the brightest pink around. Fortunately I was able to capture the big event in photos at the dress rehearsal and few days prior to the performance.

At the end of the concert, her pictures were taken, she was presented with a bouquet of flowers, and she left convinced that the audience thought that her dance steps were indeed amazing!
