Dance Revolution 2010

Sorry I have not gotten to this any sooner.  I am busy with Nutcracker!  Any way, so about two weeks ago I went to a convention called Dance Revolution.  This is what we dancers wait for all year! (kinda like a Christmas for dancers.) What you do is you dance literally all day! I am going to give you a day by day feature of what I did.  On Thursday I spent the night with my friend Cassiday.  On Friday we drove down to Orlando and got there around four o'clock, checked in at Cassiday's hotel and then went over to my hotel where the rest of the girls were staying.  We ate supper then Cassidy left, and we got ready for the party.  Every year they have a party on the first night and this year we were supposed to come dressed in an old recital costume.  After the party, around nine thirty, we went to get milk and finally got to bed around ten thirty.  Let me tell you about having the best room out of the whole dance revolution.  It was Miss Lexi (A.K.A. the best teacher in the world) Jamie, Rebecca, Lily and I in a suite.  We woke up at six forty-five and Rebecca, not thinking when she left, brought muffin mix that only needs milk and did not bring a muffin pan.  We just made due with what we had and here is the result.

 

This is our huge muffin. It tasted the same as a regular muffin!

                                                                                                                                        
              After we ate we went straight to dance.  This picture is of the ballet teacher - we had her first!

 This is the hip-hop teacher and Rebecca who made the muffin!

                  This is the international teacher who I think kinda reminds me of my Aunt Sarah!
                            After that class we had lunch and then headed back for more classes!
Dance Revolution is not only a convention, it is a school and the girls who go there full-time are called Ingredients.  They are short on teachers so they had some Ingredients teach jazz!

This teacher teaches contemporary.  It is one of my favorite kinds of dance!

After that class we had electives, and we did House (the teacher was amazing on how well she could do it). We did not have time to get a picture.  Then we went back to the hotel and got ready for the showcase, the exhibition of dances from each studio.  The showcase went well and then we went back to the hotel to sleep, and the best part was we got a extra hour of sleep (because of Daylight Savings Time) so we got about ten hours of sleep!  When we woke up we had to pack everything and Rebecca got the great idea that she would have a pop tart from the vending machine.  She got it and popped it in the microwave and set it on express and did not watch it.  This is what happened.

                        We went to class and we had the musical theater teacher. He is my favorite. 

                                       

This is the modern teacher and is one of my favorites too.

We had lunch, and then we went back for tribal funk which was the same teacher that taught house.  We could not get a picture with her so we took a picture of her with a random girl so we could have a memory of her.

Last, we watched the teachers dance and then headed home.  We were a little bored so we took a couple pictures.

 

We made a wonderful trip home all safe and sound!


Coming Soon: Dance Revolution Part 2 - Very Exciting News

The adventures of Pretzel Princess Isabella!

     Once upon a time there was a pretzel princess named Isabella.  She was a beautiful girl with curly golden hair, rosy red cheeks and the wore finest of clothes!  One Friday morning as the sun was rising on the beautiful beach Isabella decided that she would ride her favorite horse whose name was Buttercup.  Buttercup was a beautiful white horse with a white mane and tail with a couple of pink streaks and one green streak in it! 

     While she was riding on the beach Buttercup tripped and Isabella was thrown off the horse and was in terrible pain.  Buttercup laughed, so the princess had to punish him.  When she punished him, he ran away and did not go get help.  Isabella, still in pain, had to call her personal doctor to come and help her. 

     While she was in the hospital she found out that she had broken her hip.  Isabella and her doctor Ricky became really good friends.  Isabella invited Ricky over for dinner and to see her wonderful palace.  Once Ricky saw all of her gold, it made him forget all about how nice she really was. He pulled his gun out of his holster and told her to put her hands in the air.  Isabella pulled out her gun and then they both froze. Then, all of the sudden, four men that happen to be Isabella’s body guards ran in with guns drawn.  Her guards took Ricky into the dungeon to await trial day. 

     Trial day arrived, and they sentenced him to five hundred days in jail.  Isabella decided that should would enjoy the beautiful day and take Floofy Q, her blood hound, to the park and walk.  All of the sudden Floofy Q started barking, and he never barked.  The princess noticed that he was barking at a Chinese poodle named Zaire Oberon.  The princess happened to know the owner, and they started to gossip about what has been happening around the moats.   Somehow while they were talking they got to the subject of the doctor.  While they were talking about him an important message came from the castle. Ricky had escaped.  He was roaming around the city looking for gold bullets for his collection for the competition at the palace to win one million dollars.  Ricky went straight to the blacksmith.  While He was there his fairy godmother appeared and with a wave of her wand appeared five fat pigs which and ate up all of his bullets.  When that happen he decided that he would go buy more bullets.  While he was bargaining, a pink, beautiful fairy appeared and said to Ricky “I will grant you one wish as long as you promise not to hurt the princess.”

     Ricky said, “I wish to marry Isabella.” 

     The fairy replied, “This wish will not happen in one day. It will take one month.”  One month later Isabella and Ricky got married and had seven wonderful children.  Even though Ricky did not get all of Isabella’s gold, he got what he really wanted, and that was to marry her. They lived happily ever after.

                        The End.

My Random Show!

This is my show!  I will be putting up many episodes... you will NEVER know what to expect!  In other word this is me being bored while my Dad is fixing his old computer, Mom has her group, Alyssa is babysitting, and Kevin and Hannah are at church! Being bored out of your mind really is not that bad if you think of something fun to do!  This is what Casiday Underwood and I ALWAYS say, "We are bored, but we do not want to clean!!!"

 If you cannot understand me or my crazy spelling skills, comment and I can translate for you!  The reason I was not talking very loud was that  while I was videoing  my Dad was trying to fix his computer..... or in other words I did not want to bother him!  Note:  I spelled facts wrong because in all the kids magazines they spell the name of the article wrong, such as Laffs with Lily.

WARNING:  Do not clean your cups this way.  It probably would have more germs on it than when you started!

This is what i had to do for my creative writing class!

Stan Musial was one of the best baseball players of the 1940’s.  But Stan’s greatness came from being off the field and on the field.  Stan was a bold, but nice guy.  During his time with the St. Louis cardinals he was never thrown out of a game.

At the age of twenty-one, and playing twenty-two seasons, Stan Musial threw left, and batted left handed.  He played first base and outfield.  In the years 1941-1963 Stan Musial was amazingly never thrown out of game.  This was quite unusual for a player who played for twenty-two years.

One day in April 1954 in Chicago the Cardinals were losing 3-0 in the seventh inning.  Paul Minner was up to bat next and there was a man on first, when Stan Musial  smacked one down the right field line.  The Cardinals and everyone in the stadium thought it was a fair ball.  The man on first ran to third base, and Stan was on second happily, but first base umpire had incorrectly called it foul.  Stan unaware that the umpire had called it foul happen asked the home plate umpire what had happened.  He answered back and said the hit did not count because it was foul.  Stan told him there was nothing he could do about the call.  He went back to home plate and hit the ball in the same spot; this time it was called fair.

At 89 years old Stan Musial was and still is one of the best baseball players.
