  • Kim 11.11.08

  • Lynda Lehmann 12.11.08
     

    How adorable, Kim, and it's nice to see photos of more of your family!

    I fondly remember our daughter's early years of being involved in tap, jazz and ballet! Now those years are long gone....

  • Lilly 12.11.08
     

    How gorgeous are the baby ballerinas Kim, just lovely. It's great your neices are getting a lot of family support at their concert too - gosh I cannot imagine the work that must go into all this. My neices have been dancing since they were 3 and are now in their early 20s. I love the song too!

  • Kim 12.11.08
     

    I know the feeling Lynda :)
    Charlotte was a toddler when she started and even learnt from me for a while....she taught dance for a few years with my Sister too......but eventually gave it away...the training was invaluable though...

  • Kim 12.11.08
     

    they are gorgeous Lilly ...you could take them all home....
    and 4 boys too...
    only outnumbered by 546 girls....
    ballet can be very addictive!!!
    are your nieces making careers for themselves in dance?..
    I noticed the renewed interest in dance since the 'so you think you can dance' show aired here...
