I survived!
« on: May 05, 2008, 08:16:03 AM »
Barely, but I survived.   Man, that was a LONG 5 days.  I don't know how my daughter did it.  She danced between 5 1/2 and 7 hours each day, then there were 2-3 hours of performances to watch each evening, with a party after that each evening...I don't think we made it to bed before 11:30-12:00 each night.

She learned a LOT.  Had some totally awesome instructors, and a couple classes that were just totally fun (African dance...what a riot to watch all the ballerina types doing african style dance!).

Had a couple of Prima Dona moments we had to deal with (other girls in the group, not my DD), but for the most part it went well.

Oh, and we had a huge drama situation, too.  Senior girls were performing Saturday night...one of the "principal" dancers hurt her knee on Thursday, then again on Friday...she couldn't dance.  They had to revamp the dance to go from 7 to 6 dancers andone girl had to learn a completely new part in 24 hours.  They did do a great job!

So, I'm home, trying to catch up on all I missed.  I can't believe how tired I am, though.

And the clothes I got for the Gala were perfect....thanks for all the advice, everyone!

I'm happy you are back and I am happy y'all had such a great experience.  Will there be photo evidence?

I took over 1000 pics...need to troll through them and pick out some good ones...maybe later today, or tomorrow.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
