Breanna & her Papaw

We love our 7 year old Grand daughter.  We’ve worked hard to keep her exposed to the Arts.  She has been in dance lessons since the age of 3.  During the past couple of years she has really loved opportunities to perform in front of an audience.  Recitals, and a couple parts in a local production of The Nutcracker have given her much delight.

A few weeks ago our daughter in law called and said that Breanna’s dance teacher had ask if she could participate in a unique opportunity to dance as part of the pre show for a professional ballet company The Ballet Magnificant. The dance was going to be to Steven Curtis Chapman’s song “Cinderella“.  And it was going to require that either Breanna’s Daddy or her Papaw danced along with her.  Breanna’s Daddy works 2nd shift so he had a good excuse to not be available.  Her Papaw couldn’t stand the thought of Breanna being unable to dance so he surprised all of us by saying that he would dance the part of her Daddy in the song.

This turned out to be one of the highlights of our lives. I couldn’t video the actual performance due to distracting others. But between my daughter in law and myself we did get a video of the dress rehearsal. And some precious pictures.

Hope this home video touches you just 1/8th as much as the real thing did everyone that watched.  Breanna told me later that people watching back stage were actually crying real tears because they liked she & Papaw dancing so much!
