Rendezvous in Paris

Lots of video this week!

Lily's class of six to eight-year-olds put on a show two Fridays ago: "Rendezvous in Paris." If you haven't heard of this play, it's because you are about to see A World Premiere (i.e., the students and teachers created it).

She played three roles: Parisienne (she enters at about 2:00 below);

Van Gogh's self-portrait;

and a British person celebrating Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo.

That one's my favorite. Lily almost met her own Waterloo, missing her prop, but she gamely went through the moves without it until one was handed to her.

The long-haired girls got into the bowing after their final song, "Champs Elysees."

I especially like hearing Clara's commentary: "There's Lily" and "Lily, hello!"

An international sensation. The American audiences went wild.

Waterloo, 1:50 is my favorite. Lily, you ROCK! What a good sense of rhythm! I see a dance line in the future.

These videos really make me smile. And chuckle and stuff. It's fun to hear you, Jennifer, chuckling while you're recording.
