{STARS - Year End Show}

On Friday Alexa had her year end recital for dance.
She did two dances. "Princess & the Frog" and "SINGLE LADIES" (Chippettes Version)

The "Princess and the Frog" dance we had never really seen. I knew that she was doing it but because I don't wait around while she is in class I didn't know much about it. She didn't really seem to like the dance much because she would never show me. Greg didn't know about it at all! :)
She did okay with this dance but not as good as she did "Single Ladies"

("Put a ring on it")

She has been excited about "Single Ladies" since day one and would show me her favorite parts often. She still didn't really love to "practice" the whole thing through though. We were a little worried that she wouldn't remember it but she did great!

After it was over she was SO excited and proud of herself! Her favorite part is getting hugs and flowers from her fans afterward. The whole Chazen & Jepson clans come out to see her. (Thank you Michael for taking all of the pictures of Alexa)

Below is a picture I took of my niece Sierra at the same show. At a regional competition (teams from Idaho & Utah) Sierra was one of 2 dancers chosen to receive a scholarship for a workshop in the "OC". This workshop is put on and taught by famous dancers & choreographers. Some are on the hit show "So You Think You Can Dance".
Sierra is incredible. My mom said to me not so long ago, "you were a great dancer when you were in high school but Sierra is SO much better!!" haha! She knew I wouldn't and I didn't at all take offense because she is really insanely amazing.

I'll post videos as soon as my bro Chris comes back in town with them. I REALLY need my own video camera.
