My 4 year old daughter had her first recital on Saturday

3 years ago by Roxamir to c/dadworld

It was a 2-act show and she was going on in the second act. We watched the first act together (which ran about an hour and a half) and then her mom took her backstage during intermission. She was the second dance and when she came on with her group I had the biggest feeling of pride I have have every felt in my life.

Then, 10 seconds later, she ran off stage because she was too nervous with a full auditorium of eyes watching. πŸ˜‚ Everyone thought it was cute, but after the show on the ride home she apologize and said, "I was just too nervous and scared." To which I replied, "It's okay to be nervous and scared. It makes us human. Even Daddy is scared and nervous about some things, but the important thing is to try our best and keep getting better."

Even though it was just 10 seconds, I'm a proud Dad and I can't wait for the next one. Hopefully she gets a few more seconds in hahaha.

Also, mini rant:

The first act was all the older kids and teenagers and their dances took a long time! Why not let all the little kids go first and let them watch the big kids after? My daughter was so tired before she even went on (which probably contributed to her running off stage).

Ya, that's weird. The dance company we use has the littles' dances in the beginning.

That's not normal. All of the dances I've been to do it by age β€”ween to teen.
