First stage show

Aritya's daycare was preparing for the end of school academic year and one of the plans was to let kids perform a dance in a cultural show in the city. They asked us if we would allow Aritya to join and we agreed. They practiced the dance every Wednesday routinely during their fun dance lessons and eventually they called us to spectate the rehearsal in a stage hall not far from his school. We anticipated for his performance on March 17th. Parents were earlier asked to prepare black leggings and black t-shirt with a yellow bow-tie attached to it. And there we were, at the hall, all set with Aritya. We had to leave him with his teachers back stage and we were asked to be seated in the seats facing the hall. And when the music is played, the kids entered the stage and performed dance to the songs 'Zip-a-dee-doo-dah' and  'mickey mouse' dressed as Mickey and Minnie mouse. It was exhilarating to see the kids dance confidently, enjoying the performance on the stage. The next day, they performed enthusiastically again in front of a large crowd. Satya and I were truly happy to witness the performance and seeing all the kids enjoying themselves with their friends. This was Aritya's first performance in a stage in front of a large crowd and I am glad that he has experienced it. After the show, I rushed back stage to welcome him, and there he was anticipated for our return and ran to me happily. I was very proud of him and happy for his delight. After a brief snack time, I brought him to the hall to see some of the performances from older kids and later headed back home, with a happy and very tired kid.
