Julliard Bound Class of 2024 March 8, 2010
Posted by Emily in : Photography, Princess Hannah , trackbackI many have mentioned a few times how MUCH Hannah LOVES Ballet.
In case you haven’t heard me mention it, (you must be a new reader) SHE LOVES IT. She loves it almost as much as she loves me, so you know, it’s A LOT. :)
Just look at the feeling she has in her body language as she dances:
I should probably call Julliard and let them know Hannah will be joining them in the class of 2024.
Look at her form.
She might only be three and a half, but she takes ballet very seriously.
OK, her eyes are closed. I want to eat her up!
I photographed these pictures during an “interpretive” dance moment.
Still, SO DANG CUTE.
She was told to bend over backwards (Hannah is the middle child) . . .
And then they told her to hop like a bunny through the hoops. What a cute little bunny. :)
Now it’s time to march . . .
And now it’s time to admire herself in the mirror. Heck, if was that cute, I’be checking myself out too! Check out that pose!
I wanted to show this picture which is straight out of the camera. Notice how there is a picture within the picture? I was not able to move from my designated seat in the studio (we are only allowed to watch the girls dance in the studio once a semester. We normally have to wait outside and watch them through a window.) so I had several shots that were not compositionally as concise as I had wanted. When I saw this image, I really wanted to focus on the three girls dancing and cut out the other two girls that weren’t relevant to the three girls.
This is what I cropped it to:
Hannah is the middle girl doing interpretive dance with her classmates. Now, it’s never ideal to crop your images (especially significantly) because you loose pixels, and fewer pixels, means a smaller print. I always try to frame my images exactly to maximize on pixels, but every once in a while it’s not avoidable.
And now, get ready for her turn . . .
Look at that cute back side!
Technique! She’s really learning technique!
And now her bow . . .
Thanks for watching Hannah in ballet today.
Come again.

She is a natural!
She has some skills!! WOW!!
Wish I had kept dancing. You better keep her in class even when she is 13 and wants to stop and do something else. One day she wwould regret that. But I actually dont think she will ever have enough of it. She is precious! She looks so much taller than 6 months ago! You have a beautiful girl!!
I wonder if that will be us in a couple of years. Rachel is turning out to be quite the girly-girl even WITH 3 rough-and-tumble older brothers around.
Oh, I hope, I hope, I hope!
She is adorable, Emily.
This are the little glimpses that make me think that I really will enjoy having a girl. I’ve always been terrified of it, but seeing this kind of thing makes me believe that as long as I have moments like the one’s you have captured, it will be MORE than worth it. cherish, cherish, cherish.
Oh goodness! Leave some of those cheekies for me to kiss too, please!!!!! and tell Hannah, that she’s the best and cutest and most beautiful dancer that we’ve seen! Darby loves her, too!!!
She is darling and a natural!
So dang cute! She is so little and yet so graceful!!! I have never seen someone so little so passionate about something. It just makes you chuckle!
