The Ballerina and the Violin

Aanika had her dance recital for the year and she did wonderfully! The theme for the entire program was Fairies and Aanika's class were in Fairy School where she graduated and got her wings that were shaped like a flower petal. She was also a Chatty Elf for the Jazz section where they got to do a lot of sassy dancing and giggling. Too cute!
Sadly, Aanika has asked not to do dance again this year. If you've been reading any of the past posts you'll have seen that, for many years, Aanika has had an infatuation with Riverdance. There is a part in it where there is a violin player performing solo on the stage and, apparently, she really liked it. Fast forward to 2008 where she sees Celtic Woman on PBS and there is a very beautiful woman rockin' out on a violin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXanHvrjQO0&feature=related
Yup, Aanika's asked for violin lessons. We'll keep ya posted on how that goes!
