Dance Power ....... Nap (2/6)
Posted by Magda (Vancouver, Canada) on 29 May 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Some of you wished to see Tara and Paige in their dance costumes.... I finally had some time to edit the images I took in between and after the competitions.
Unfortunately videotaping and photography during any competition was forbidden.
Thank you so much for taking your time to visit and comment on my photographs. It is greatly appreciated! :)

With so much of your positive feedback and encouragement I decided to go for it and turn my passion into a career. Thank you for the "kick" AM3 Friends! :)

How adorable ... little girl spent ... now rejuvenating herself!
I love her costume; we usually see her in pinks but red looks good on her too!

@Judy: The costumes are picked by the dance studio instructor. Paige's group (3-4 year-olds) was dancing to "Yeah Mickey" song - too cute for words! To see 7 little girls on stage in those costumes was priceless! :)
