Practically Perfect in Every Way

We spent a wonderful evening at BYU watching the performance of Mary Poppins, it was a combined cast from The BYU Departments of Theatre, Media Arts and the Music Dance Theatre Program. It had live music by The Symphony Orchestra, there is nothing better than real music. 

Loved the costumes, the choreography was fabulous, the backdrops and scenery were amazing. Such Joy!!

Kristen was able to join us 

Oh, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious, if you say it loud enough, you'll always sound precocious! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

The Last Concert

So many years our life has been full of ballroom dance. As Alissa is finishing up at BYU she is saying goodbye to being on the Tour Team. So much has come to her through this experience. Dance has paid for school, she has made life long friends, traveled the world and most important she meet and married Trevor.

End of the Year Ballroom Concert - Katie & Sierra

Hard to believe we have coming to the end of another school year. Here are some pictures from the Spring Ballroom Concert over the weekend. It has been fun to have Sierra and Katie on the Varsity Ballroom Team together, Katie has been on the Varsity Team all four years of High School and Katie and Kristen were on the Varsity Team together too. What a Ballroom Team?? Yes, here in Utah where we live (it's a ballroom mecca.) Almost all of the high schools, middle schools and now elementary schools have some kind of ballroom program. It's great to teach these kids how to dance and expose them to all kinds of music. The girls have had another busy year with competitions, concerts, Nationals and tour. It takes a big commitment to do this.
