Recital Day- or, as Reni and Ani would say, "Ta-DAAAAA!!"

Anika had her very first dance/gymnastics recital today at The Little Gym, a wonderful little franchise in our 'hood that lets kids be kids and has the most patient and enthusiastic teachers. It's been great for Anika, who joined in mid-February, and today they had a little recital, of sorts, to show the parents all the new skills they've learned.

Without further ado, here is Miss Anika in her tap recital:

Her ballet routine:

Her ballet solo, which didn't really get going until the end, but which features some nice turns nonetheless:

The beam routine (Reni is actually climbing on the balance beam during the beginning of her routine, so the camera work is a bit shoddy here and you can hear him protesting me moving him out of the way):

Her uneven bars routine (or that one where you realize she is part monkey):

And, finally, Reni decided he wasn't made for spectator sports, and jumped in on the action himself:
