So this is the first time that Alexa's group danced in front of an audience.

This particular time was to celebrate Ukrainian New Years.

She is the one at the back of the girls on the left hand side.

And the head you see bobbing around below stage is Harper.

That child danced with every group that came on stage.

45 minutes straight!

You should have seen how tired she was at the end.

Also keep in mind that this was after 6 pm and we hadn't eaten supper yet.

Let's just say that we only made it until about 8 pm before we headed home.

It was pretty cool to see them dancing.

The costumes were amazing on all the dancers.

Maybe next time I'll try to get a video of the older kids/adults dancing.

Now that is some crazy dancing!

My child seems not to be able to make a normal smile when a camera comes out.

She is very animated!
