Highland dancing came to an end in November and to celebrate all the progress the girls had made, they put on a little recital. All the girls got to dress up in kilts for the first time and show their stuff to a living room full of proud parents.

Showing off some tricky arm movements
We watched the girls try their best to follow along with the bagpipe music, turning, kicking, jumping incessantly and sidestepping. All we can say is that we are so proud of them and that highland dancing is really difficult. Let's just say that for most, it is a work in progress - something to keep working on through the cold Saskatchewan winter.
When the show was finished, each girl received a special present from their teacher and we all enjoyed cupcakes and punch. Just another little community moment here on the prairies that makes me almost glad to be here :-)
