As I mentioned last year, the Clytie Adams School of Ballet is well known for their professional presentations, but this year's performance was a bit more exciting thanks to Clytie Adams who stopped the show on two separate occasions. Once to accommodate a young lady whose late arrival kept her from being in the video, and a second time to help a parent understand that no flash cameras means no flash cameras! Everyone realized pretty quick that Clytie doesn't mess around.
The recital began with a tribute to Valentines Day that was performed by Zensho Gushiken and Kate Robinette. Both dancers seemed to set the stage for the evening but most impressive was the graceful Mr. Gushiken whose feet never seemed to touch the floor during his two performances.
The recital continued with tributes to St. Patrick's Day, Mardi Gras, Easter, the 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas, but the best dance of the night was performed by the five and six year old class with their tribute to the 4th of July titled Lollipops. Even Anna who wasn't old enough to attend last year agreed that Abby's class was the best.
Although Abby's performance only seemed to last for a few seconds the memory of watching my oldest daughter dance with her class on stage to the live music of the New American Philharmonic is a memory that Michelle and I will certainly cherish forever.
In ending I would like to thank all of the dedicated instructors and students who made this event a great success, as well as the woman who has built the best ballet studio in Utah, Clytie Adams. You truly have built something wonderful.
Enjoy the photos!

Do you ever not wear a coat?!
You can find me in golf or t-shirts, shorts, and flip-flops anytime I'm not working.
Do you have something against jackets?
Rob, you have beautiful kids. Why someone would post such a stupid comment about your coats is beyond me.
Tell Abby congratulations.
The kids are cute and the coats are always ones I dig. It just seems like he's always in one; I personally find them quite stifling, but then I sweat a bit. No offense intended, just trying to be lighthearted.
