Parents Update on what Dani's been up to lately - Dance Team :)

[MdGymMom01]

Hi guys! I haven't been here in a while so I thought I'd drop in and say hi!! Dani has been very busy with dance team this winter. She is LOVING dance team and is really growing as a dancer. She is competing in 2 contemporary/lyrical dances, 1 jazz production dance and her contemporary/pointe solo.

Here is a video of Dani's Jazz number from her last competition this past weekend. It was selected as Video of the Week!! She is the tall, lanky dark-haired one on the right hand side on one of the chairs in the beginning.

That was great! I'm glad she is enjoying dance.

I remember you and Dani! She looks fantastic, love her routine Turns and turns and turns, get 'em while you're young, puberty is the major turn hurdle. Then later when you have kids and your center of gravity changes again you tell your dance teacher that you're just turning where your butt takes you

Lol so true. My first dance class after my kids I almost fell over doing a single pirouette. Your post made me snicker remembering the horror I felt

Glad to see she's doing well in dance! We miss you around the CB!

Thanks everyone! She is coming along nicely . Since she is a "lefty" in dance and with her cartwheels and roundoffs, but right-handed with writing, she has found that she has to learn both ways because in dance they turn and do most skills on the right. So that is the biggest challenge with dance at the moment.

That was a good number - they all look like they are having so much fun .
