Ballet is a hard sport to photograph.
I am not allowed to attend weekly practices. I can't take pics during performances and pictures after performance just don't provide the feel of the sport.
I was in luck this year though, the instructor allowed parents to come to a practice so sit back and enjoy Malia in her element.
Presenting Graceful Malia Ruth.
Malia has struggled with her pointe shoes. First pair, lasted 6 months then all the problems began. We went to get her new ones and with the hurricane, Gaynor's were all on back order. We waited for 3 months before the pair we needed came in, which allowed Malia's muscles to be less strong. Most of this time was summer time so no biggie. When the shoes finally came in and Malia spent the time sewing them we thought we were good to go only to have Malia in tears more than not because of the pain she was experiencing. Heavenly Father answered my prayers and guided us to answers. So we bought the third pair($125 a pair) because the 2nd pair didn't have the proper shank. After getting those shoes sown, they broke. Is there a message here for us? We are still waiting for the 4th pair to arrive. Please hurry, recital is the 7th of June! One evening this note was on my bed. What a sweetie that Malia is. I love her goodness. How lucky I am to know her.
