Bring A Friend/Miss Natalie's B-day

Hey Everyone! Holy cow! The bring a friend to dance week was PACKED! I felt like I was at a workshop during the Thursday night hip hop! I hope everyone really liked your prizes. I had them specially made just for that. Thank you to everyone for wishing me a Happy Birthday! It was a great one! Thank you. This weekend some of the dancers are attending the JUMP workshop in Minnesota. We are heading up there tomorrow. It should be a jam-packed, action-packed, hard working workshop! I'm sure it will be a blast. Next week is our Christmas/Winter parties and then it's our last week of classes for the 2008 year! Starting in 2009 we are going to work really hard on getting those routines finished. Along with cleaning up Disturbia for the basketball game in February. Don't forget about those extra practices! Thanks again to everyone that came to the Bring A Friend week. I hope their friends/brothers/nieces/and everyone else really enjoyed it. I did. See you when we get back from up North!

Let it Snow!!

The first week of December is over! The blog is up and running at school again! All is good!! Next week is bring a friend week and I know everyone is just dying to know what the prize is!? You're going to love them! I love them!! And it's NOT candy. 
Some highlights of this week are: we tried some yoga stretches in tumbling classes; Summer and Carly brought me a cake and my birthday isn't until next week :) But I loved it; Taylor S. has her triplets down to a T; everyone is working on turning leaps; Disturbia is almost finished; I got a compliment on how cheap the Disturbia costumes are! Woot! Woot!; Tyler hurt his knee during school, but he's doing better now; Shy is back at practice after being sick; everyone from the high school class made it to practice this week!; and Dallys also made it to practice even through the winter snow.  
I'm sure I left out many highlights. If you have any others you remember be sure to leave a comment. See you all next week!! Keep dancing!

Tuesday, Tuesday

It's been a while since I've been on. They blocked us from it at school, so no more writing posts while at school :( Oh well, I should be working. Dance is going great! I've had a weird, scratchy voice the past few days. I've been to the doctor and on medicine. All is well. We've really started to work on our routines. The dancers really seem to like them, which makes me happy. We're trying to have a lot of fun with our routines this year. They're all telling a story and they all are getting into them. It's going to be our best year yet!!! VIVA LAS VEGAS!!
