RAchel's recital

This girl is SO HOT right now! Last night was her recital for her hip hop class with Prestige. All of her other dance classes are at another studio, but we had to keep her with her teacher james for hip hop at prestige. He is this young black guy who is not only amazing at hip hop but a really good teacher. His choreography is so incredible. There are five girls in her class and they are all really good. Rachel and her friend Aida (from Bosnia) are the only ones that aren't in the dance troupe. They were so incredible I can't tell you. I wanted to watch the dance over and over. Rachel's strength is her body rolls. I think they are called that. Of course I was too cheap to buy the dvd, although Dave said we could if we would skip watching the second half of the show. ha ha. It really was long and Dave looked like someone trying to sleep on an airplane (totally uncomfortable). Remember how we could never tell who the real Rachel was when she was little. It was if she was always playing some role. Rarely did we see a genuine smile. Well, here they are. The ones when her school teacher mrs. Garretson is giving her flowers. Her teacher is so awesome and loves Rachel so much. She came to watch her and Aida. Iwas going to move Rachel to a different school next year with Jacob, but just decided to leave all the girls. When I told Mrs. "G" she started crying. Rachel has really blossomed with her as a teacher. She gets Rachel and loves how smart and unique she is. She said Rachel keeps her challenged as a teacher. I know just what she means, she keeps me challenged as a mom. She is a wonderful girl, we are so lucky to be along for the ride with this one. Can't wait to see how she changes the world. Today she is in the school production of Princess and the pea. So pictures from that later.
