My daughter's ice show solo program

[QuiltyMom]

Our rink's annual Ice Show was this weekend, and my daughter was lucky enough to earn a solo! I'm going to be a proud mama and post a link to a video of her skate. (Sorry for the bad quality, but I took it on my phone in low light.) I'm so proud of her!

Wow Jan - that was fantastic! Charlotte was so good! (I thought the extra fabric must have been attached to her wrist at first - i would totally have dropped it or not caught it etc)

Thank you, everyone, for your kind comments. You are all correct - I'm so proud of her! She works so hard at it, but loves every minute that she's on the ice. This was the first time that she was able to get a solo part, and she did us proud!

You have every right to be proud! wow...I first got a slide show of skaters when I clicked so I'm so glad i tried again. What struck me in addition to her skill is that she was smiling the entire time! Yes!

I skated when i was 3-5 but not after we moved south from PA-MD way back when. I've never skated since but I recall the exhilaration of the flying across the ice!

Beautiful!!! Charlotte is getting so old!!! Time moves too fast!

I adore ice skating, no others skating, me watching...and wow! Did you make her costume too?

 

[QuiltyMom]

This costume I didn't make - thankfully! It was nice to have one purchased and given to us as part of the registration fees. Our skating director gets dance costumes because they're less expensive. If you put "skating" in front of the word "costume", the prices increase astronomically! The skirt was floor length, but one of her coaches (who is also a dance coach) helped me drape and pin it up so it looks as it does now.

She looks so graceful! What a fabulous performance!
