Little Lost Sheep

Eva and Amanda’s ballet classes are done for the summer, so they bade farewell with an adorable performance of “The Little Lost Sheep”.   Adapted from the parable Jesus told in Luke chapter 15, it featured a little lamb who wanders away from the flock while chasing a butterfly.  The shepherdess searches high and low and finally finds the little lost lamb, joyfully bringing it home. 

 

Eva and the other 5 and 6-year-olds played the sheep, dutifully following the movements of the shepherdess (since they’re still to young to remember all the dance steps).  Amanda and her little friends (ages 3 and 4) were flowers and were supposed to follow the dance steps of the butterfly, but they were having too much fun doing impromptu twirls and waving at their parents in the audience.   The older girls played the parts of the butterfly, shepherdess and snowflakes.   It was absolutely adorable!
