Shannon O'Brien School of Dance Annual Shamrock Showcase and Dance Extravaganza 2016

2016 has been a year of change for SOSD...but in the end, this year's shows truly were
GORGEOUS!

 The strength and beauty of the dancers showed in their performances... from the emotional song to the upbeat song to the serious song.

 The shows opened with the unveiling of Pompeii.

 The smiles were contagious with the Pre-school dancers..

 

And continued to spread in the Red Room and the Purple Room!

 The costumes captured the essence of the songs

.... from cute to crazy!

Dancers gathered with their studio friends to capture their memories!

And at the end we were left looking for MORE!

And wanting to join in on the FUN!

But alas....the curtain came down on ...

THE FINALE!!!!!

"And suddenly you know... It's time to try something new and trust the magic of beginnings."

(on to Season 25!) 

Picture Day 2016

It's Picture Day 2016!

We should've known that it would be the BEST Picture Day ever after seeing the shine on the floors, the smiles at the doors, and the sparkles from head to toe.

...along with 4 photographers, 15 staff members, 400 dancers, and THOUSANDS of costumes!

Meanwhile....back at home:

Lovely little ladies in waiting...

These lovely ladies have been crowned for their
cuteness!

Everybody Wants to Be a Cat UNLESS you can be this cutie!

Petite means"having a small and attractively dainty build."...but NOT in attitude!  These girls are ready to BRING it to the stage. 

Miss Stacey kept us on schedule for the day!

 

Meanwhile, back at the Sportswear table....

 Moms and Dancers were sharing their SPIRIT with SOSD                                                                      Sportswear!

And behind the camera the Level 1 and 2 Dancers were filing in...

 How could you pick your favorite costume when they just kept coming in... sparkly ones, cute ones, classy ones, sophisticated ones, clever ones.  ...AND WHAT was that one?

 And then we have our Seasoned Level 3 Dancers....

 BUT... we can't forget our Dance Moms of Seekonk:

 OR our Dance Families...

Because they keep us going...

AND who isn't looking for the BOYS?

We were all in great COMPANY!

Before we knew it, the day was done!

And next year we will meet again.... just a dancer and a camera!

THAT'S A WRAP!
