Every year the school does a Tony Crane Dance performance. It's pretty cool watching the choregraphy and it's a way that all the kids in the school get an equal chance to participate on the stage (vs. traditional plays where those children who have better stage presence get lead parts and those, like my own kids who may be a bit more shy, would be a background non-speaking tree). Everyone has a lot of fun and they split the show to two days so it's not super long to sit through. Unfortunate though, when you have kids performing on different days like we did. Lady Ryder was really grumpy all day long, but she did really well considering she had to sit there early when we got our seats (and took Mr. Edward to practice with his class) and through the different classes. She was a little fussy and couldn't make up her mind who to sit with but finally started to get into the music and dancing by the last few songs.
Mr. Edward's Class were the Disco Ducks.
The whole class was absolutely adorable and they did such a great job. Mr. Edward was so excited about doing his dance and told me afterwards how he wished he could do it again. I had a couple thoughts about the dance: #1, why put the tallest kids in the front of the class. Mr. Edward was dwarfed by Jess, and Brian was dwarfed by Mr. Edward. Weird line up #2, no matter how much fun they are having neither of our kids smile on stage. Have to work on that one. Maybe this year Mr. Mann finally smiles. We'll find out tomorrow.
Lady Ryder insisted that we take her Dora backpack to the play. It was a nuisance trying to walk in with the crazy line of people, but leaving to say goodbye to Mr. Edward I realized it was rather adorable.
