Last Chance Practice

Well today was the last chance to get in any extra practice time....the girls had a short practice this moring followed by a swim at the Grotto Pool. Then tonight Macaela, Michael and Jessie took some more time and ran through their dances one more time. We left Alex and Jeesica in the practice room to run through their paces with Nora for the first time since they arrived.

Tomorrow is the big day for Camryn, Jayne, Jessie, and Macaela all competing in the
U10 Girls age group which has been divided into two groups of only 77 dancers...whooo hooo. This is small compared to the U9 Group Macaela danced with last year of 138 dancers. Camryn starts the Girls off at 8:00 and J,J & M start at 10:00. Michael is also dancing tomorrow in the Mens U20 of 36 dancers in between the girls starting at 11:00.

Well that is it for tonight, I'll post tomorrow as soon as I can with any information or pictures of our fabulous Dancers!

Orlando Training - Day 1

Happy Canada Day everyone!

Today was a dance day...well a training day. Nora called for a 9:00 practice and the Girls sure were eager to hit the floor hard, literally! We saw Mackenzie, Camryn and Jayne as we walked from the Swan Hotel over to the Dolphin Hotel to meet Nora. The Girls were as usual happy to see each other and obviously excited that it was here in Orlando. This trip has been talked about since the moment we all left Nashville last year after Nationals and since the Western Canadians in Edmonton in November. The Dancers have been looking forward to this all year and have prepared and trained themselves daily, weekly and monthly to be ready for this event. In less than 48 hours, 36 to be exact we will have our first 4 NPIDA Dancers giving it their all and putting all her heart and soul on the dance floor. Followed by our very experienced Michael who will also be dancing up a storm on Saturday. What an exciting day the first day at NAN's will be for all of us, stay tuned for daily updates and photos.
