Two days after returning from Singapore, Cami had a dance competition. Without having practiced with her teacher for two weeks, Cami was a little nervous. Add on the fact that her teacher put her in the age group division above hers (due to the fact that she was continually marked down for doing more advanced [...]

Russian Festival in Trafalgar Square The girls’ ballet teacher is Russian, so their dance group is asked to perform at many Russian events. It just so happens that once a year they get asked to dance in Trafalgar Square, but it usually falls on a Sunday so the girls can’t attend. This year, it was [...]

Hannah and Cami have been doing dance with Kalinka Dance Studio for about 2 1/2 years now. Their first show was only a few months after they started and seemed like such a big deal. They each had 2 costume changes and it was a little stressful getting their hair up in buns and their [...]

Cami had her second dance competition yesterday. She was so ready for it . . . at least for her modern dance. It had been changed from the last time and was polished. Her classical ballet piece, not as much. She danced the classical first and forgot a couple parts but did well on stage, [...]

But, with more time comes more practice and Cami was ready! Cami & Her Friend, Lauryn We weren’t sure what to expect, but Cami was [...]

This may sound oddly familiar because it has happened before. This time I was away on a youth temple trip with the youth from church and knew nothing about it until I came home. It seems Cami and Hannah were having a grand old time playing in the field next to their ballet studio when [...]
If it isn’t gymnastics, we’re busy with ballet. Thankfully, the girls are able to take ballet at the same gym Caleb attends. Both Cami and Hannah love it so much that they are in two classes each a week. Hannah still can’t get enough of it so she goes into Cami’s classes and volunteers as [...]
