HC Dance Shoes

Needless to say, Daisy chewed up one of Em's HC shoes when we were gone the day after Christmas to see my family. I guess she was mad because she didn't get to go. LOL

Anyway, does anyone remember which shoe we ordered from Discount Dance? (The model number)

Thanks.

Happy New Year!!

OH, heard from Andy a couple of days ago, when I was home sick with the stomach virus, and he said that his unit is taking over Saturday. So now the "fun" really begins.

They Look Cold!

Who are these two Nutcracker in the Park dancers? (Click pic for larger image. Photo by Brian Ginn.)

A Message From Ms. Carrie

Ms. Carrie wanted me to let you guys know that she wants to start her classes back on Monday Jan 2. We said in the beginning that it would be Tues. before the studio reopened, but because of the Competition Jan 21/22 she would like to get started. Ms. Rachel however is not as eager...(just kidding) she will not start the Drama classes back until Monday the 9th. At that time the girls will begin "Annie" !! Ms. Rachel is working on Scripts and Mrs. Brie & Mrs. Connie is working on the Choreography.

This will be the Schedule for Monday Night Jan 2, only.

( Next week -9th- we go back to our regularly scheduled program :-) )

The CRT Trio From 5:30 to 6:00
(from 6 until 7:30 Carrie would like for you to help her work with groups 2 & 3)

The ACM Trio (On Broadway) 6:00 to ?
I am not sure when she will let them go....I will bring them home on my way, or they can call when they are finished, it that is ok with you Missy and Betty, just let me know.

"Floating Swan" Jessica Will See Brie Today!

Will you? Brie has a 'special' makeup practice for lots of dancers today.

FS (Center) with her HS buddies Kameryn and Step at a recent performance also at Memorial Auditorium (choir). Jessica seems to also have a great voice. (Click pic for larger image. Photo by Brian Ginn actually, this may have been taken by her other friends, can't remember!)

Oh yes. Some of you may remember Steph (blonde) from Jessica birthday party last year! Some of you may think Kameryn looks a lot like Demi Moore - she says to me 'I hear that a lot'. Not so much in this pic but I can tell you she does in others. And Jessica looks a lot like Nicole Kiddman! Future stars indeed!

Brie's reception and Hotel CA videos!

... are on the dvd, so take a look! Mrs. Brie's reception video shows many of the Seniors and more dancers eating cake plus more. The Hotel California dance by the Seniors at the St. Fair is here too! It was simply the best they'd ever done. Take a look. Oh yes, and I know, I know, I duplicated some of the parade footage at times. :)

Andy's Address (he goes by Mark)

Dee Anna, you asked for his address. This is it. Thank you all so much for your caring hearts.

Mark's Address

I think I forgot to post this when I typed it up. Duh...that was at least 2 months ago. Someone had asked for his address.

Anyway, Connie has the new, updated list. She still wants to collect things for him, but has moved the box to the "big" room since there isn't much room in the lobby. She should be passing these lists out (Miss Carrie & Mrs, Brie, too.) If not, ask for it. The are in the "big" room, too.

Cards and letters are good, too.

He is currently at the Bhagdad Sheraton (the one that was bombed a year or so ago.) They are on a rotation to stay there. It is near where the journalists are housed. I guess they are protecting the journalist. LOL

After spring break, I will be printing and posting some of the pics he took in Iraq and showed us when he was home.
