December 18, 2011. Paradise Village, Mexico. The Snow Queen.

The performances are being held this weekend in Jackson, Mississippi.  Kate and Mary Frances both dance in this Christmas ballet.    They love to take part in these shows and the shows are of a high quality.  I wish I was there to see it but I enjoyed seeing them in costume.  It is just difficult to do everything.  Maybe next year.

Ballet is surprisingly important in Jackson.  Now even Molly takes ballet lessons.  The ballet school, Ballet Magnificant, is the brain child of a local lady who is a professional dancer.  But before her, another lady put Jackson on the ballet map, so every four years,  Jackson is the American home of the International Dance Competition.

The most important part is that the girls receive excellent training and work hard.  With three performances this weekend, Kate and Mary Frances will be tired.  Now they can focus on enjoying Christmas.
