Kate - Ballet Performance Awards



Kate had the wonderful opportunity to dance in the Ballet Conservatory Performance Awards Recital at the end of May. The director of the Royal Academy of Ballet in New York came to little old Burley, ID for a couple of days to judge each of Miss Katriina's students. Each girl got to do 2 dances onstage by herself and then be judged and awarded for her efforts. Kate received a "Silver medal with distinction"! She was thrilled!!! :) We were so proud of her. It takes courage to stand up on that big stage all by yourself and perform. She was a pro. She messed up just a little bit and instead of falling apart she just found her place and kept going. It was a proud moment to see her react so positively in a tense situation. She's growing up. I'll try to get her video uploaded if I can figure out what's wrong with my computer.
