Join the Dance

June took ballroom both semesters this last school year. You've seen some of her competitions which are fun but very scripted. The end of the year concert is the most fun because the kids are able to do fun dances. They even choreographed some of their own. We had a great time watching.

Let's jump right into these fun performances. This is Tango to a song that we don't know the name of, although you may have heard it before. June is in the middle back. You can usually pick her out from her long, straight hair.

This is Cha Cha to She Tastes Like Cola. June is basically in the middle again.

Next up is Foxtrot to Feeling Good. When the girls run out from the back, June is front left in white. Again, look for the long hair.

Last one of June. This is Swing to Confident. The guys were having some wardrobe issues. They only needed to change into a yellow shirt, but some of them were late getting out there. That is why June doesn't have a partner for a minute. Of the three girls on the right, she is the middle one. She doesn't do the first jump because her partner is missing.

We only recorded the dances with June, but there was an amazing Cabaret number that I regretted not getting. However, on the last day of school there were performances by band, orchestra, and the Cabaret number. So I took a video. Sadly, it wasn't quite as good as on ballroom night, but you get the idea.

And since I am on a video spree here is percussion on the last day of school playing on the garbage cans...always a favorite. Robyn is one in on the right side in the front.

June also spent a lot of anxiety getting ready for ballroom team tryouts. It was especially nerve wracking since the coach quit and they put someone new in right before tryouts and all the dates changed. But she went and worked hard and made the team for next year. I'm excited to see all the fun performances next year.

p.s. In the blog book this may have been a very boring post since it is all videos. Go get on the computer and find this post if you can.
