What a beautiful day to dance. I bet Hipnotica had a blast in the sunshine on that stage. I wonder if they had any live music.
Off to eat lunch with hubby, then make-up time!

Saw Gypsy Caravan at the Pink Door tonight. ( Awesome as usual. )

I was going to write a separate entry, but I am posting a post I put on a mailing list I belong to, with additions and edits here and there. So some of you may have seen this already, for the most part! VOILA!

Okay, can I just say my troupe KICKS ASS? Not only are the women I have the pleasure of dancing with dedicated, motivated, organized, responsible and talented, they are also super fun, friendly, thoughtful, and totally groovy.

It's an oasis kind of theme, and apparently the roof will be deorated and heated. I am interested in seeing what it will be like. (Oh sometimes I ( Read more... )

My girls rocked the house last night. They worked soooooo hard and were so excited about performing. I still can hardly believe that they threw two twenty-minute pieces together, complete with new formations, moves and rhythm, and short combos/choreos, in 2 1/2 weeks!

Our Q13 Fox appearance this morning went well and not so well at the same time. The length was the biggest disappointment. Hardly any time at all--Renee said 30-40 seconds each. They told us two minutes each!! Why did we bother cutting music and practicing?! But we are genuinely grateful that we got to be on the show ( Read more... )

It is done, and I feel as relieved as I had hoped, and about as sad as I expected. It was hard. Harder on some of us than others, but still in the end we knew we did the right thing. Just hate that it hurt a friend. Why did it have to be like that ( Read more... )
