Center Stage Stars!

Emma started participating in a singing and dancing tour group through a talented friend who teaches them out of a dance studio in her home.  It has been an incredible experience for Emma - it's pushed her to become more comfortable performing in front of large groups of people and her singing ability has grown so much!  I'm proud of my Emma lou.  

The group is called "Center Stage Stars" and for the Christmas show, they were dressed in a Who-ville style - which resulted in some awesome hair do's. :) 

Emma had a solo part singing "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas".  She did so well!  I was so surprised seeing her belt it out so loudly in front of the large group of strangers at the outdoor shopping mall the first time.  It was so awesome :)  

Emma's group performed at two outdoor shopping malls (Desert Ridge and Tempe Marketplace) and also at an assisted living center.  At the end of the touring, they had a recital performance at the Stake Center for families and friends.  At Tempe Marketplace, there was a "snowfall" after the performance... 

They had a meet and greet with Santa at the nursing home...  :)

Recital night!  Becca is part of the Preparatory Tour Group - once she is 8, she can join with the big kids and tour around to other venues, but for now she still does weekly practices and then does two shows during the recital evening.  Becca had a solo singing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer :)  She's such a sweetie - I'm so proud of her!

Our fun family who came to support my little ladies...

Tour Group sure made our Christmas season extra awesome!
