Recap of Dance Daze Spring Showcase

On May 30, 2015, I organized a performance for all the Dance Daze kids in our school theater. They were so excited to perform for their parents, and it was so cool having the theater for their recital. We had a rehearsal before the show so that the kids could get used to the stage and go over their routines. Some Dance Daze members volunteered to help out with the show and a volunteer from our school offered to help out with the tech (lighting, music, etc.), which made my job easier. I was nervous about the show at first, because this was my first time putting together something like this, but the show went pretty smoothly.

I learned a lot from this experience. Next time, I would probably make sure the kids knew their choreography and promote the show more. I would also make sure to make a list of all the materials I need, because I ended up getting a little frazzled from making sure everything was in place. Overall, the show was successful and the kids enjoyed themselves!

Choreographing Snow Lin's Solo

Today (9/7/15), I choreographed a solo for a dancer from another studio to the song Colors of the Wind. She had excellent technique, and it was easy working with her and teaching her my choreography. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot from choreographing, and I can't wait to see her perform this routine onstage!

Assisting in Michigan!

Over the summer, I had the opportunity to assist my teachers Bill and Brian in Canton, Michigan from July 23-25 with another dancer, Brooke. I helped teach the dancers' solos and group dances, which was really fun! I also was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the state and the great food there with my dance family. All in all, it was a wonderful experience and it was so cool traveling across the country to dance!

KAR Nationals 2015 Recap

This year, our studio went to KAR dance competition in Las Vegas for our nationals.We competed our dances from July 5-10. My groups did very well and my solo Find Me placed 6th overall! In addition to KAR, my sister and I also attended Hall of Fame Nationals in Las Vegas. My solo My All placed 9th overall, and our duet Spirit Guidance placed 2nd and was able to re-compete in the duet showdown! Unfortunately, we couldn't re-compete our duet because we had conflicting dance schedules at the KAR competition, but the whole experience was really fun and exciting! I can't wait for next year's nationals!
