Words could never express how well I thought last night’s show went! I hope you enjoyed the show as much as these dancers and I did. What a privilege it was for me to be backstage with the girls (yes, I was the curtain puller!) watching their faces literally light up with excitement for getting on that stage! [...]

After weeks of hard work and practice, our dancers are ready to shine in the spotlight! At tonight’s dress rehearsal, the dancers ran through their dances a few last times and learned to take their bows.

The new thing seems to be that the couple makes up a surprise dance for their first dance together. Sometimes they start out dancing to a slow, drippy song, then they’ll break into the YMCA, and then go back to the slow, drippy song again. And sometimes they do this! Too fun! [...]

Wouldn’t it be nice with all the gloom and doom and negativity and monotony in the world that sometime we could be out in public and just break into song and dance like this? Anyone want to join me?? I mean, come on, who doesn’t love this song?? Just a thought … I hope [...]

In our upcoming recital, our Hollywood class will be dancing to a funky version of Beauty and the Beast. Dancers, you can win a special prize if you answer this week’s “beastly” triva quiz correctly! (Have an adult help you put the answers in the comments section.) Who wanted to marry Belle? Where is Maurice [...]

Joy, Joy, Joy!! I don’t think I have blogged lately about how much joy your dancers bring to me. You see, I had a very bad week last week — truly, it was the worst week of my life. My sweet mother has been very sick, and two weeks ago the doctors told our family that there [...]
