Farewell from Orlando

It has been a week to remember! I know that our Family will have memories for years to come of the very exciting week we spent in Orlando. Attending the 2010 North American Championships has allowed us all to celebrate our Dancers as well as spending time together as families and friends at the "Greatest Place on Earth", Disney World.

We would like to thank everyone for their support of our wonderful dancers, without all of you attending our fundraisers and viewing and commmenting on our blogs the experience for these dancers may not have been the same.

We are going to say "Thank you" from all of the dancers and families and "Good-bye" from Orlando,

The Cross's, the Dent's, the Game's, the McKay's, The McInnis-Thorpe's, the Hebert's, the Rose's, the Martyn's, the Houston's, the Wallace's, the Jacobson's, the Scerkowsky's,the Gillies, the Yap's and the Bradley-Tse's

Fun Times!

This week has been such a wonderful experience for all of us but it has not all been about DANCE! I am putting some pictures on the Blog of some of the FUN times our NPIDA Dancers and Parents have shared during the absolutely fantastic trip.

Day 5- Last Day of Competiton

Yesterday was the last day of the North American Nationals. Cara was the final NPIDA Dancer to take the stage in the U12 Girls Category. This is Cara's first Nationals and we are all so very proud of her hard work and determination to get here. Having a Nationals experience for these Dancers is something they can take home and be proud of and to motivate them for the following year. To be here with the top 100+ dancers from North America,UK and Austrailia is quite an accomplishment and one that they will never forget.

To Cara and all the NPIDA Dancers we are all so very PROUD of you! You make us all come toegether and feel like we are part of each others Family. We share your excitement, your pain, your disappointment, your nerves and your joy but most of all we get to share all of you and we couldn't be happier and more proud to be a part of this wonderful experience with you all.

I have just added new pictures of Cara on her big day, thanks to Stephanie for the pictures.

Day 4-Competition

It was another exciting day in Orlando,with seven of our NPIDA Dancers competing today. After many hours of preparation and lots of determination we only received two recalls today in our U8 Girls Group.

Congratualtions to Caitlin and Jadyn on their recall today and their placements.
