A few weeks ago we went to a 'Dance Directive' in Wichita. It was a day-long dance camp with lots of interesting teachers and styles of dance! The highlight was getting to meet Kourtni Lind (a So You Think You Can Dance contestant from last season)! She was one of my favorites on the show and recently joined the Talent on Parade Dance Directive Staff! She was our teacher for Lyrical and Contemporary dance. The picture above is our girls (except Haley - she was in the Advanced Room) with Kourtni!
This picture shows the large group warm-up. I think there were about 100 kids there!
We split up into 2 groups, Advanced and Intermediate. Here is Allisa, Zoe, Miranda and Jalyn in the Intermediate room. Tap Dance was the first thing we learned.
I was proud of Jalyn - several times during the day she volunteered or was chosen to dance up on the front stage! She was raising her hand and answering questions - which was a little frightening in a group that size, considering she was one of the youngest ones there! She was definately 'in her element' at this day-camp! In this picture she's the one in the middle on stage!
Here is Kourtni Lind's class - and I was cracking up at how Jalyn had made her way ALL the way up to the front row! She's in the middle with the knee socks on!
We took lots of time-outs to watch each other in groups. Here's the girls being cheezy for the camera! It was dark in the room, and my camera didn't do very well with the lighting and red-eye!
I was also very proud of Allissa when she was selected as a Scholarship Winner at the end of the day! They only picked 8 kids, and she won a certificate to come for free next year! (she has on red pants in the back row!) Overall, it was a good time and I can't wait for next year!
