What can be
important for a 10 year old child?
What can make its heart beat hard?
Many things,
that’s for sure. But these last days,
for my little girl it was her performance
preparation
for the 5 and 6 of July.
Six years in ballet classes since the age of 4.
Each year, a little achievement.
This year, another one.
“Once upon a dream” from “Sleeping Beauty”
was the piece of music on which her ballet teacher
made the choreography.
And the big day arrived!
Everything had to be perfect,
her costume
her shoes,
her
make-up
her
coiffure.
Performance menu...
(with great pain, I assure you!) ....
At home, before the backstage.
Other parents sharing the same feelings
standing in a slow-moving queue...
It was a wonderful performance for all the dancers and the public!
Dear Olympia - how lovely - your daughter will remember these very treasured moments forever. Beautiful photographs.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention that I noticed your Philippe Starck Louis Ghost chair.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear the perfomance was great. My daughter (15 years old) is also a ballerina for more years, so I know how special it is to see her dancing! Your daughter looked like a beautiful princess!
ReplyDeleteBig hugs, Ingrid
Your daughter looks like a little fairy in her green, beautiful dress. That was certainly a special day for your whole family! Happy Sunday, Olympia.
ReplyDeleteWowwww...you must be a proud mom....!!....she is so cute !!....love from me...x !
ReplyDeleteLieve Olympia,
ReplyDeleteWat een pracht van een dochter als ballerina,alles tot in het kleinste detail verzorgd voor de belangrijke uitvoering.
Kan me heel goed voorstellen hoe trots je dan bent als moeder,
ik ben dat ook altijd als oma wanneer we naar optredens gaan kijken en luisteren waarin onze kleinzoon(vandaag 18 jaar)een muziekspektakel voor volle zalen ten gehore brengt met slagwerkgroep,
en kleindochter 13 jaar speelt vanaf 8 jaar Alt Sax en heeft al verschillende diploma's op zak.
Heerlijk wanneer kinderen zich kunnen en mogen ontplooien in hun liefhebberijen.
Fijne zondag gewenst en lieve groet!!!
Ger
You certainly are a very lucky granma sweet Ger!Wish I could be at your place one day!
DeleteDearest Olympia,
ReplyDeleteWhat a DREAM! You surround your sweet daughter with so much beauty... Look at her room; the beautifully crocheted pillow, the lovely and delicate rose bud bed linens. The armoire, her fairy tale chair, the beautiful armoire... No wonder that she just can be a rose bud herself; developing in each stage of beauty and performance. Love the flowers and lanterns alongside that human queue... so romantic and also her bedroom balcony received lovely flowers. You say the performance menu was with great pain but those fruits look lovely and I would eagerly take them any time.
Congrats for this achievement and hope that together you enjoy summer!
Hugs,
Mariette
You have a very talented daughter,
ReplyDeleteshe is very beautiful and romantic in

Hello dear Olympia, it is indeed such a special moment to see a daughter in such a special performance! I am sure you held your breath the entire way through! Beautiful photos! Xx
ReplyDeleteOh lieve Olympia,
ReplyDeleteWat een mooie dochter heb je en wat ziet ze er uit als een prachtig prinsesje in haar mooie jurk.
Spannend zo'n dansuitvoering. Alles moet tot in de puntjes klaar zijn.
Wat fijn dat ze de kans krijgt om zich te ontplooien en dat ze ouders heeft die haar stimuleren.
Ze heeft een prachtige kamer met balkon.
A very lovely greeting,
Gerry

Best wishes to you and your enchanting sweet darling,
