"Dancing Through the Year"

This past week the dance studio where I teach had our annual dance recital. I have taught dance before but I have never been a part of a recital (at least the behind the scenes stuff). I have learned so much from this experience and I have had so much fun too. I choreographed 3 different dances: a jazz, hip hop and lyrical dance. It was fun to be creative as I tried to bring versatility to each dance. I have definitely learned little things that will help me in the future to be a better dance teacher. But overall, I think they all turned out awesome. The girls did such a good job performing them and I loved seeing the end result. It was like I was living vicariously through them. I totally miss dancing and especially performing but this experience had filled a little void I have had. Yay for dancing!!

Me and two of my nieces who were in one of my jazz classes. They're in their Walking on Sunshine costumes and look so cute!

That's awesome, Julie! That would not be easy to choreograph a dance, let alone three! How fun :)
