NYCDA Los Angeles

City #2 in preparation for Nationals in NYC. Tempe Dance Academy had an amazing weekend overall in Los Angeles. A lot more kids competed in L.A. then in Mobile. It is closer to Phoenix at least. If I recall correctly, 99% of the numbers scored a Platinum. They won a Critics Choice in the Junior and Teen division. A lot of overall high scores and awards. All in all, they all did amazing. One of the dances that did well, was Steam Heat. It was choreographed by Holly, and it was so good. I had not really seen it, so I was very excited about it. I think it stands a very good chance of making it into the Junior Gala at Nationals. Let's keep our fingers crossed. Next city, Chicago for the Company kids. Holly and Dana are trying to convince me to go...Buddy????

Amber and Kassie with Tony Testa. Tony is the Hip Hop teacher for NYCDA. Tony was one of the assistant choreographers for Michael Jackson's This is it tour. If you've watched the movie, you've see him. He comes out several times.

It's not that great, because I was taping it while I was watching, and so the camera gets a little off center at times.

And although NYCDA Nationals are not until July, I know that time will go by super fast.

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

Good things come to those who wait...

I was having one of those bad Mondays. One of those Mondays when everything seems to be going wrong. 1. Our phones at the office are not working. 2. Statements went out over the weekend and angry patients are calling to complain. 3. My coffee got cold and I had to throw it away, and now I have a caffeine headache. 4. My cell phone has been tied up all day because I'm having our calls forwarded to it. (good thing for rollover minutes). 5. My boss has just added two more things to my darker pink "TODO" notebook. And just as I was about to roll up in a ball and hide under my desk, I got this e-mail. Dear Kindle Customer, Today, we introduced Kindle 2, the next generation of our wireless reading device.

Flashback Friday

This Friday, I am participating in two links. My first is with Alicia over at More Than Words . There are only two weeks to go for TDA's Summer Recital. This year it will be held at Higley Performing Arts on June 20 at 7:00. Kassie will be in aproximately 14 dances so far. Might change though. Hopefully it will change to less. : ) Recital is in full swing right now. Every day, you see kids walking out with their costumes. It is so cute. I especially love seeing the little two and three year olds. They are always so excited. This is a picture of Kai in her 2nd Recital with TDA. It was her first year taking more than two classes. I think she was in five or six recital numbers. It was her first official ballet dance. She had never taken a full ballet class. She since has learned to love it. This picture was taken in 2005 making her only nine years old. How fast time goes..... June 2005
