2 Minutes of Death

Happy Spring Break to all my sweet dancers! Three of our first graders spent today rehearsing their trio. It's a slinky little jazz number with lots of technique. We've been working on choreography for about a month and the girls have practiced hard. However, after much time spent today cleaning and recleaning I decided to do their dance, full out, and have it recorded...
Let's just say when the tempo picked up it was almost too much for this 17 weeks prego dance teacher... Lesson learned: if they are having a hard time, sometimes it really is because the choreography is too difficult! These are three of my most dedicated and naturally talented students so we are just going to push them to get it BUT come competition time, those judges "betta rec-a-nize" the difficulty in this routine behind the fabulous costumes and smiles.
I'll post a video after competition in April/May... You won't want to miss it.

Twisted Wave

I use this app for all of my music editing. It's called twisted wave and it's available in the app store and is very user friendly while still featuring all the functions and tools that I need.
I have edited at least 100 songs and this app makes it so easy. You can share your edited songs via email but my favorite way to share is to upload directly to Dropbox and email from there. That way the song is still in my Dropbox, available at anytime.

Trio Song 2013

I am so excited to finally share the song for this year's trio. I have mentioned it before but didn't say who the artist was. Well we are officially using Everybody Wants to Be a Cat by Psapp. The girls will have furry leos,  tails, kitty mittens, ears and sparkling whiskers. We have even incorporated an old trash can and crates into the dance and it is SO FABULOUS. The girl's first competition is on April 26th so I'll be sure to post a video. It's about to get sassy in here, folks!

If you are wondering what the girls did last year it was Something's Got a Hold of Me by Christina Aguilera from Burlesque.

Love this song!

I heard this song last night on Walking Dead, I fell in love. What do you think? Too dark for dance? You Are The Wilderness by Voxhaul Broadcast.

Little Buns Pinterest Board

I have started a Pinterest board dedicated to all things little, little buns, little girls, little costumes, and more! Little Buns is a collection of the sweet simple things about life and dance.
Little moments can easily get lost among the hustle and bustle of studio life but this helps me to keep an eye out for those tiny things that can mean the most, and by things I mean dancers.

Post-Perfomance Texts, And One Lucky Teacher

Our girls performed at a local high school dance team's review last week and they did AWESOME! I got this text after the show:

Dance Mom: Britt! The girls were all adorable! Thanks so much for all of your work with them!

Me: Thank YOU! (Dancer) was as polished and perfect as ever. I know she practices at home, thanks for encouraging her. <3

Dance Mom: I just showed (Dancer) your compliment. She is beaming!!!! She loves loves loves to dance! Thank you for being so good to her.

Me: She's easy to love. :)

I'm lucky to have Dance Moms and Dancers who love and appreciate me so much. I am so grateful for my dance community.
