Throwback Thursday: Baby Ballerina

Dance recitals are so exciting to little ones. I was in two recitals one in 1977 and one in 1978. I felt like a princess. I even got a bouquet. Fancy!

ca. 1977 outside of FDR High School, Brooklyn, NY.

Ca. 1978, FDR High School, Brooklyn, NY. I’m the girl on the right. Those hats are something, aren’t they?

Born and raised in Brooklyn (do I even need to add New York?), this city girl now lives in Orange County New York, on a mountain in the midst of farms and forests. When I’m not reading and writing, I’m chasing after my four kids, dog, and cat. I enjoy cooking with my family – my husband blames his weight gain on my dinners and desserts - and passing on the cherished traditions of my Italian-American family. I love to travel and have been to Europe, Asia, and Australia. Having a special needs child, and battling breast cancer I can say that life has been quite the adventure. I try to approach every situation with a positive attitude. View all posts by jrusoloward
