Beauty and the Beast

Tori dances at Svetlana's Dance Academy here in Temecula.  They performed Beauty and the Beast at our local theater and it was wonderful.  Tori had three roles and loved every minute of the performances and all the rehearsals.  She glows when she's on stage and works hard to develop her talent.

Tori was one of the hens in the scene where Belle throws Gaston out of the house after refusing his marriage proposal.  The show had hens and pigs which surrounded Gaston while he wallowed in the mud.

Tori was a spoon (and sometimes a fork) in the scene where the kitchen entertains and feeds Belle,

    

    

Tori and Kassidy hung out in the dressing room and backstage in between parts. 

Tori was also one of the butterflies which emerged during the spring (along with the Spring Fairy) while Belle and the Beast were getting to know each other better.

Svetlana - She is a wonderful teacher and loves the performance part of ballet.

Kaylee and Tavin came to see Tori in between acts so we took a quick picture with the butterfly we love.

Kimber and Tori both wanted to have their picture made with the beautiful ballerina who played Belle.  She is also very kind and takes the time to notice the younger dancers.
